Why Revere settled for a police chief accused of harassment 09:42Play August 11, 2022 before becoming chief, he sent a sexually explicit image to another officer.

 In 2017, the same year that Arrigo started searching for a chief, Callahan was accused of bullying and sexually harassing a patrolman and “creating an atmosphere of fear.” In the fallout, the 40-year-old patrolman has been on paid leave for more than a year, and is seeking an “injured on duty” retirement status, which would cost the city at least $750,000 before the typical retirement age of 55. Callahan disputes those allegations. He did acknowledge in an interview with WBUR and ProPublica that, before becoming chief, he sent a sexually explicit image to another officer.

"It was a mistake," he said. "It shouldn't have happened. And I owned up to it, and it'll never happen again."  https://www.wbur.org/news/2022/08/11/police-chiefs-internal-hires-massachusetts
