Castro v Beecher ( The Consent Decree)

Massachusetts Association of Minority Law Enforcement Officers, Inc. (M.A.M.L.E.O.)

Issue Number 20 August 2017

In The News with MAMLEO

Dear Friends and Members:

The Massachusetts Association of Minority Law Enforcement Officers Inc. would like to wish David Williams a heartfelt congratulations. We would also like to thank the tireless work of Ivan Espinoza-Madrigal and the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights and Economic Justice. On Saturday, August 12th Mayor Marty Walsh will be our guest on @ The Round Table with MAMLEO. He kept his word and agreed to return to the show and we are looking forward to having him back.

We send condolences to Police Officer Curtis Mosley on the death of his brother, Donnell Dunn, may he rest in peace. We would be remiss if we did not comment on how Curtis was terminated for failing a discriminatory "hair test", we also vow to work diligently on his behalf to right a wrong and return him to work. We wish Superintendent Randall "Randy" Halstead congratulations and our very best as he embarks on his retirement after 39 years with the Boston Police Department.

A New Auxiliary Officer we helped get this position is offering a letter of thanks.

Good Day MAMLEO,

Everything is going very well. I have to go to Sig Sauer Academy to be more efficient with a semi automatic. Other than that I should be starting to work details. I have introduced myself and met many of the officers of the department. NOW the higher ups want me to go full time. Just 4 years ago, and a different chief, they lied to bypass me. Great change. Because I was vocal about my struggle, a female officer from another small town came to me and told me about her struggle.

I hope to participate more with MAMLEO.

Thanks.

This case originated in 1970 which alleges that the civil service entrance exams discriminated against Blacks and Spanish-speaking persons, and so the "consent decree" was borne. A complicated read but work and sweat is why we are here. A heartfelt thank you to Attorney Tom Mela.
