Disgraced ex-Westfield Police Chief David Wayman may have “retired, effective immediately” from the police department according to published news reports but his pension hangs in limbo until a final decision on discipline is made regarding his alleged corruption and misconduct.
A member of the Police and Fireman’s Pension System (PFRS) must retire in “good standing,” free of any criminal or departmental investigations in order to be approved for pension benefits.
It would appear that while he is no longer in charge of the WPD, his “retirement” doesn’t necessarily guarantee his pension. He must clear the PFRS pension board review of his retirement application submitted. TFoTM can’t imagine he is free and clear of local and/or county investigations which would prevent him from retiring “in good standing.”
Can we all just refer to him as Mr. Wayman, I think the title of ex-chief is something that needs to be earned. With the shadiness that still surrounds Mr. Wayman, he certainly has not earned any respect from his peers or residents of the town, to be referred to as ex-chief
ReplyDeleteHe might be on the hook for a sexual harassment claim made by his secretary.
