STONEHAM – Town Administrator Dennis Sheehan and Police Chief James McIntyre wish to provide the following joint statement:
“On Friday, March 31, 2023, the Stoneham Police Department assisted the FBI in the arrest of Robert Kennedy, a former police sergeant with the Department. Kennedy resigned from the Stoneham Police Department on February 23, following notice of an internal investigation into a history of civil claims against him.
“These matters have also been referred to the Massachusetts Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Commission, as they are relevant to Kennedy’s eligibility for re-certification to work as a police officer in the Commonwealth.
“The Town of Stoneham is grateful to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Boston and to the FBI for their diligent work on this matter. The Town and the Stoneham Police Department will continue to cooperate with their investigation as the case progresses.”
