Joseph McGunigle – Quincy Police Department

Officer Joseph McGunigle was terminated in 2012 after multiple incidents of misconduct. In 2011, he was involved in a ‘traffic cone’ incident where he was found to have violated the department’s personal conduct policy, resulting in a five-day suspension without pay. Later that year, while on administrative leave, he violated a direct order to stay away from the police station, leading to charges of insubordination and witness intimidation. His license to carry a firearm was revoked, and he was deemed unfit to serve as a police officer, resulting in his termination.

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.
