In 1989, then-Police Chief Albert Brackett was involved in a controversial incident where Hudson police officers conducted a nighttime raid on the Lavoie family’s apartment without knocking or announcing their presence. This led to the fatal shooting of Bruce Lavoie by Officer Burke. The family filed a civil rights lawsuit alleging violations of their constitutional rights, including the use of excessive force and indifference to medical needs. The court found that the allegations raised questions about the reasonableness of the officers’ actions.
