BOSTON – Superintendent Nora Baston will be named the next Boston Police Commissioner Friday, sources told WBZ-TV’s I-Team. But that appointment is on hold as current Commissioner Dennis White, who was placed on administrative leave amid past domestic violence allegations, filed a lawsuit to stop acting Mayor Kim Janey from firing him.
“I ask for our city’s patience as we await the court’s ruling,” Janey said at a news conference Friday. “We cannot name a new commissioner until we deal with the current situation.”
White is a 32-year veteran of the Boston Police Department. Prior to being promoted to Chief of Staff to Commissioner William Gross and to the rank of Superintendent, White was a Deputy Superintendent in the Office of the Superintendent-in-Chief and in the Bureau of Field Services Night Command, Law Officer reported.
