"I have accepted his resignation. And while his departure ends a chapter, it is not the end of the story,"
"I recognize that the men and women of our police force have faced incredibly difficult circumstances and are grieving for the loss of one of their own. Their health and well-being are of utmost importance, and we are making sure they have access to the care they need."
"Our members have raised serious concerns regarding continued mismanagement, a persistent lack of transparency, and a failure to adequately support officers in the performance of their duties,"
Haverhill Police Chief Robert Pistone retired immediately after being placed on administrative leave. The mayor accepted the resignation and described the departure as ending a chapter but not the end of the story. The Haverhill Police Patrolman's Association issued a vote of no confidence in Pistone and Deputy Chief Stephen Doherty Jr., citing mismanagement, lack of transparency, and inadequate support for officers. Officer Katelyn Tully, 32, died unexpectedly on Sept. 26, and officers are grieving. Tully was among seven officers placed on paid leave after the July death of Franci Gigliotti, which was ruled a homicide and remains under district attorney investigation into whether officers' actions were justified.
