• Stoughton's former deputy chief, Robert Devine, appeals loss of law enforcement certification over misconduct allegations (bostonglobe.com) — A former Stoughton deputy police chief is appealing the loss of his law enforcement certification after a state commission cited a pattern of misconduct connected to a woman later found dead in her Canton apartment in 2021. The appeal argues the revocation relied on hearsay and procedural errors, and no court date has been set yet, leaving questions about oversight of local policing and accountability.
