Kiko Pulido
A-Rod would no longer be welcome at the Boston Police Department
By adamg - 7/2/09 - 2:55 pmBoston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said today that seven police officers have been suspended for steroid abuse following a three-year investigation.
Four other officers were suspended for "officer misconduct" at disgraced cop Kiko Pulido's illegal after-hours club at 24 Factory St. in Hyde Park (conveniently located right up the street from a BPD warehouse from which somebody kept stealing drugs a couple years back).
Another officer was given some unpaid time off for not reporting steroid use, Davis said in a statement.
In addition to the suspensions, Davis said he's ordered several steps to reduce future problems, including training supervisors in detecting signs of drug use, mandatory training for all officers on the health risks of anabolic steroids and pre-employment steroid screening of recruits. He said he is also looking at adding steroids to the list of drugs now screened for in annual drug tests and enacting a two-strikes-and-you're-out policy for steroids. These steps would require contract negotiations with unions representing officers.

Commissioner Ed Davis's statement:
Today's sentencing of Roberto Pulido closes a sad chapter for the Boston Police Department. Our department is comprised of officers who find Pulido's actions despicable and the punishment fitting.

As many as a dozen officers have been summoned to appear before a federal grand jury investigating steroid use and after-hours parties in the Boston Police Department - an offshoot of a probe that led to the convictions of three patrolmen last year, according to three law enforcement officials familiar with the case.

It will be shown at police roll calls today. "We will not allow the loathsome actions of Robert Pulito and company to define who we are as a police organization," Davis says, vowing to go after the unnamed officers Pulido mentioned:
