The organization filed an appeal with the civil service commission Friday on behalf of Sgt. Francisco Maldonado. 'I think here we see a clear example of retaliation and of injustice,' MAMLEO president Jeffrey Lopes said in an interview.
A Lowell sergeant says the city's police department discriminated against him when it passed him over for a promotion, according to an appeal filed with the Massachusetts Civil Service Commission.
The Massachusetts Association of Minority Law Enforcement Officers filed the appeal Friday on behalf of Sgt. Francisco Maldonado. In a separate letter to the city, the group said the decision is the latest in a pattern of discrimination in the department. "I think here we see a clear example of retaliation and of injustice," the group's president, Jeffrey Lopes, said in an interview.
But in an official"bypass" letter delivered to Maldonado on Aug. 15, city manager Thomas Golden noted a number of prior infractions in the officer's personnel file, including failing to properly secure a crime scene after a sexual assault, misusing sick time and missing a firearms training session"There are several concerning incidents and recurring patterns of behavior that raise doubts about [Maldonado's] suitability for promotion," Golden wrote.
