Medford officials say that 20 of the city’s police officers have been suspended without pay, and seven more have been reprimanded, after an investigation into violations of the department’s detail policy.
“I’m dismayed and disappointed with the actions of some members of the Medford Police Department,” Medford Mayor Stephanie Burke said in a statement Thursday.
The disciplinary action comes after the city launched an investigation in June into alleged violations of the detail policy last year at a construction project in Medford. The city’s police chief, Jack Buckley, told reporters Thursday that a number of officers were paid more than they were owed, according to CBS Boston. Some officers reportedly accepted excess payments, which totaled $17,000, of up to $2,000.
