RI judge rules in favor of fired airport police deputy chief May 7, 2021 GMT WARWICK, R.I. (AP) — A Rhode Island Superior Court judge has ruled that the state agency that runs T.F. Green Airport mishandled the termination of deputy chief of the airport police and that they did not provide her a hearing under the state Law Enforcement Officers’ Bill of Rights. Justice Alice Gibney found Thursday that former Deputy Chief Helen Ricci is entitled to reinstatement and back pay for wages lost, the Providence Journal reported. The decision does not address if the Rhode Island Airport Corporation had a valid reason to terminate Ricci, only that the corporation did not follow the bill of rights law in doing so.
