Over the past decade, the Kittery Police Department has faced several disciplinary actions and legal challenges. Notably, in 2018, a lawsuit was filed alleging that officers failed to arrest a man who sexually assaulted a minor in the late 1970s and withheld his confession until 2011, when prosecution was no longer possible. Additionally, in 1984, the Maine Labor Relations Board found that Police Chief George Huston violated labor laws by making coercive statements to dispatchers regarding their work schedules. These incidents highlight concerns about the department’s handling of serious allegations and labor relations.
