CAMBRIDGE, MASS. (WHDH) - Cambridge Police Superintendent Jack Albert released a statement Monday apologizing for posting a profane tweet criticizing Congressman Joseph Kennedy III on the official CPD account Sunday.
Although Albert will be subject to disciplinary action per Department policy and procedures, the punishment will not be disclosed, according to the department’s Twitter page.
Albert released a statement that read in part:
“As a 32-year-member of the Cambridge Police Department, and someone who grew up in the City of Cambridge, I know the high standards the Cambridge Police are expected to uphold in the community. Those expectations are rightfully heightened with someone in my executive position – on and off-duty. Unfortunately, in a moment of heated political debate with friends, I posted commentary that was out of character and not something I am proud of. I – not the department – deserve the criticism that has been directed to the Police Department over the last 24 hours. ”
He said he regrets detracting from all the hard work his colleagues have put in during the coronavirus pandemic.
He also issued a direct apology to Senator Edward Markey and the congressman.
