In 2002, Officer Pivero was suspended for 16 days for insubordination, truthfulness, cooperation, and conduct toward supervisors after refusing to translate a defendant’s statement from Spanish to English, citing his lack of fluency. He retired in 2002 and was placed on the Laurie List in 2017, 14 years after retirement, without prior notification. Pivero has been contesting his inclusion on the list, seeking removal through legal action.
