Fined $1,250 and barred from future police details
SCITUATE – Town Councilor James Brady must pay a civil penalty of $1,250 for violating Rhode Island Ethics law and a previous opinion and may no longer work police details during his time on the council.
Rhode Island Ethics Commission prosecutor Katherine D’Arezzo found that Brady violated ethics law when he questioned former Scituate Police Chief Donald Delaere about a July 2019 police detail while serving as Scituate Town Council president.
In the July 2019 email to Delaere, Brady asked why an out-of-town officer worked a detail “when all retired officers were not first asked.” Brady said he was not offered the July 2019 detail.
