Hopkinton Select Board to Discuss Putting Police Chief on Leave

By MyFM’s Claire Beverly – The Hopkinton Select Board is reportedly set to talk about putting Police Chief Joseph Bennett on administrative leave. The Daily News reports the Select Board plans to discuss it in an executive session this evening. Last week at Bennett’s midyear review the Board Chair expressed numerous concerns about his performance over the past few years, but most recently regarding an investigation into an officer which ended up having a sexual assault victim’s name made public; that is now being investigated by a District Attorney.
