Agreed, I would strongly urge any Quincy residents to get involved in this process.Hope nothing, get on the search committee.
The rank and file Quincy cops are doing handstands and backflips right about now. He was a hated man.
Norfolk County Sheriff Michael G. Bellotti revealed Wednesday the five-member committee that will pick the next Quincy police chief.
Joining Bellotti on the committee are:
Cohasset Police Chief James Hussey, who has been chief in that town since 2004. Before that, he was superintendent-in-chief in the Boston Police Department.
Archbishop Williams High School President Carmen Mariano, formerly assistant school superintendent in Quincy.
Former Dedham District Court Judge Maurice Richardson, now an assistant professor and consultant in the Law and Psychiatry Program in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
Milton Police Chief Richard Wells Jr., also first commanding officer of the Metropolitan Law Enforcement Council’s Special Tactics and Response Division.
Bellotti said the committee hopes to hold its first meeting next week. He said the committee will work to make its selection “well before” the current chief, Robert Crowley, retires on June 30.
On advice from the state Ethics Commission, Mayor Thomas Koch asked Bellotti to lead a screening committee to choose from three Quincy Police Department captains who top the Civil Service list.
One of the three, Paul Keenan, is the mayor’s brother-in-law. The others are Alan Gillan and Michael Miller.
To avoid any conflict of interest, Bellotti also appointed the committee’s members
"One of the three, Paul Keenan, is the mayor’s brother-in-law"
Hummmm, I wonder who the committee will be choosing as the new chief.
