Fred Whitcomb – Stowe Police Department

Written by CBKN76

Former detective demoted and suspended in 2024 after an investigation uncovered an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate officer, violating department and town regulations. The relationship, ongoing for two years, compromised judgment and authority, negatively impacting department morale. Whitcomb retired following a settlement agreement, receiving a payout exceeding $100,000.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
