The recent consultant's report recommended terminating Acting Lawrence Police Chief William Castro for alleged integrity breaches, including unfair hiring and intimidation. Following his suspension from the Massachusetts POST, Castro, who previously served as the mayor's chief of staff, continues to receive his salary. The city conducted an in-depth investigation that included reviewing police reports, communications, and interviews with officers. Key findings pointed to serious policy violations, such as improper pursuit of a suspect and misrepresenting facts in an official report, prompting concern about his conduct in law enforcement.
The most important quality an officer possesses is their integrity. Acting Chief Castro has sacrificed his integrity for his own benefit.
CIC gathered emails, radio and 911 calls, and video footage to examine the allegations against Castro, reviewing policies and interviewing 17 law enforcement members.
