BPD Commissioner Dennis White
Boston Police Commissioner Dennis White filed a lawsuit last Friday saying that Acting Mayor Kim Janey is illegally trying to fire him for decades-old domestic violence allegations. The suit, filed in Suffolk Superior Court, came as the city released the results of an outside investigation into charges levied by White’s ex-wife 22 years ago. The inquiry also uncovered a second domestic violence incident involving White, a physical altercation with a 19-year-old woman in 1993.
In court documents, White alleged that Janey is trying to unlawfully remove him from his position. He says he was informed in a telephone call at 10 a.m. that day that he was being terminated, just six hours before Janey briefed the media. The suit said the decision amounted to an “ambush.” And White’s attorney, Nicholas Carter, said in a statement that Janey does not have the power to remove him

The release of the findings of an outside investigation into the decades-old domestic violence allegations against suspended police commissioner Dennis White on Friday triggered a flood of reactions from community and political leaders, who questioned how White was able to rise through police ranks and head the nationâs oldest police force.
The failure by former mayor Martin J. Walsh and his advisers to properly vet White before handing him the reins renewed calls for greater transparency and accountability within the Boston Police Department, amid a national reckoning over policing that has put reforms at the forefront of political discourse leading into the fall elections.
