Hi,
I am acting as a research assistant for Deborah Ramirez, who is a professor of Law at Northeastern University School of Law. She is working alongside insurance specialists to conduct research on the topic of professional liability insurance for law enforcement officers.
In order to do so, we’re seeking statistics regarding judgements and settlements against municipal police in Malden.
In particular, we are looking to find out:
How many judgements and settlements there were for cases of police misconduct by members of the Malden Police Department in the past five years?
How many judgements/settlements were for more than $500,000?
And how many were for less than $500,000?
Good Morning Mr. Johnson,
After further review I neglected to attach an Order/Decision regarding the matter Ryan/Cerulle v City of Malden et al.
A review of our records and also conferring with our Controller indicate there were no other judgments and settlements in the past five years for cases of police misconduct. If you require any further information, please feel free to contact this office.
