Allegations of forging documents and physical abuse made by the Cohasset Police Union against Cohasset Police Chief Mark DeLuca, formerly Duxbury’s chief, were made public at a Board of Selectmen’s hearing last week. DeLuca did not attend the meeting.
In a letter to DeLuca dated May 25, Cohasset Town Manager Michael Milanowski wrote that the allegations of misconduct received by his office “… include but are not limited to, using your position as police chief to secure benefits for which you and others were not entitled to, forging important documents, physical abuse and abusing your authority during an internal affairs investigation.” The letter also informed DeLuca that he was immediately placed on paid administrative leave and that he was to turn in his badge, firearm, computer and department vehicle.
