To: Deputy Superintendent Kelley J. McCormick
Director, Office of Labor Relations
From: Mark J. Parolin, Vice-President
Boston Police Superior Officers Federation
Dear Deputy McCormick,
The Federation is inquiring when sergeant’s training will take place for the most recent promotions. The Federation has learned that the newly promoted Sergeants have been working by themselves on regular tours and overtime without any training whatsoever.
The Department has created a serious safety issue for Federation Members, Police Officers, prisoners, civilian personnel, and the general public. The Federation demands that the Department immediately trains these newly promoted Superior Officers and until this takes place the Department at the least has another Supervisor work with them. The Federation plans to file charges in the appropriate forums, if this safety issue is not immediately resolved.
Since, no training is scheduled the Federation is inquiring whether the Department plans to indemnify these newly promoted Superior Officers.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the Federation office. Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.
