The following is a statement from the Hopkinton Select Board:
"On March 16, the Select Board met in executive session to discuss the Police Chief. During that session, the Select Board took no action or vote on the matter. The Select Board chose this course of action due to the Northwestern District Attorney’s Office announcement that it is undertaking a review of the events at issue and that it is targeting the release of a report with findings in early May. The District Attorney’s Office has requested that the Town refrain from conducting its own investigation until such time as that review concludes. The Select Board will respect that request. It will refrain from any investigation or from drawing any conclusions about the nature of the error, or who may have been responsible, until after it has the benefit of those independent findings. The Select Board will review the report promptly after it is released and act accordingly at that time."
