In 2017, Sergeant Timothy Brennan failed to report an alleged rape disclosed to him by an adult victim, violating department policies. An investigation concluded that Brennan’s inaction breached multiple rules and regulations. Consequently, he was suspended from the Hopkinton Police Department. In 2024, the Police Officer Standards and Training (POST) Commission reinstated Brennan, noting that the incidents from 2017 and 2022 did not present an ongoing threat to public health, safety, or welfare. The Commission also identified deficiencies in the department’s policies during the period in question.
