Stoughton’s First Female Chief Exposed the Officers — Why Is SHE on Leave?

Stoughton’s first female police chief exposed the officers involved with Sandra Birchmore. She is now on administrative leave. Chief Donna McNamara allegedly opened a second investigation and says Town Manager Robin Calter told her to destroy the report. McNamara refused. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines what drives an institution to retaliate against the person who exposed its own misconduct. The second investigation reportedly uncovered information about another unnamed former employee — suggesting the problem inside the department may extend beyond the officers already identified. Someone inside the station allegedly warned Matthew Farwell that a phone call had come in about him. Scott, author of Nightbird, confronts the question of how deep the coverup runs and what it means for the case when the person who tried to clean house is the one removed from it. The woman who spoke up is off the job. The department that allowed it carries on.
