Why is Hinsdale Police Officer, Theresa Sepe, now a Board member, helping to cover up these crimes and protecting the CHIEF?
Why is former Lt. Sherman Tedford helping to cover up these crimes, now that he is a Board of Selectmen?
Why don’t they DEMAND answers from the CHIEF?
They KNOW the LAW, they know the DEPARTMENT Policies and THEY KNOW their CHIEF lied and manipulated and twisted the TRUTH to get rid of REPPUCCI.
Why do they hide from the TRUTH?
Have you ever been accused of doing something you didn't do? Have you ever had to defend yourself against a lie? accusation? mistruth?
Have you ever had to STAND up for yourself because someone doesn’t like what you stand for?
When the police do it, the stakes are higher.
The police are trusted because we are taught they aren’t supposed to break the law.
But they CAN and all too often they Do.
And when BAD Cops do it to GOOD people they try to cover it up and make the GOOD people look BAD.
This is what happens when the GOOD people have the proof and Stand Up to the COPS who are BAD.
Sometimes Good people get to speak out and give evidence and they show the world that there really are BAD Cops in the world and we need to know about them.
JUST think what could happen to you, if you get accused of doing something wrong, when you didn’t, but the police accuse you anyway, just because they can.
Because they don’t like what you stand for.
Just think what can happen to honest, law abiding people, if we keep letting them get away with it?
We all must all do our part to expose and stop BAD COPS so the GOOD COPS can do their job.
It’s time to fight back against BAD COPS. There is NO room for people who misuse their power and then lie through their teeth that they don't.
If you can’t be an honest cop and Follow the Laws and uphold the Constitution then there is no room for you as a cop in this Country.
We will be vigilant and we will expose you and all your dirty deeds, because that’s what GOOD people do to protect other GOOD people when BAD Cops don’t.
Dan Reppucci, wrongfully and unlawfully terminated, after Gary Phillips, Chief of Police and Cheshire County Deputy Kelvin Macie BOTH TESTIFY UNDER OATH he was "insubordinate" when he failed to answer questions during an "internal investigation".
Neither has told the truth, under oath, that it was a CRIMINAL investigation and by law and department policy, Reppucci has a LEGAL right to NOT answer questions and TO speak with an Attorney as he requested to do – BEFORE answering questions.
Instead of complying with that request, THEY chose to VIOLATE his Constitutional Rights to consult with an attorney.
The REASON is Simple: Reppucci was being TARGETED by the Chief for HIS information and knowledge of criminal and unethical activities going on in the police department.
Activity that the Chief wanted COVERED UP. The way to accomplish that was to discredit and silence REPPUCCI.
Facts:
The Chief of Police reported to Sheriff Foote a break in and theft at the Police Department.
Deputy Kelvin Macie was sent by Sheriff Foote to investigate.
Kelvin Macie - Investigator for Cheshire County NH Deputy Sheriff.
Repucci knew they were conducting a criminal investigation and asked to consult with an attorney BEFORE answering questions because he felt he was being targeted, it was HIS legal RIGHT, IT was THEIR Obligation to obey that request.
A legal right to counsel is afforded to anyone in the country in criminal investigations conducted by the police and that included Reppucci.
Phillips and Macie violated the 5th and 6th Amendments of the US Constitution, when they did not allow Reppucci to exercise his Constitutional Right to Counsel.
Neither are NEW to LAW ENFORECEMENT and BOTH have many years of experience.
Reppucci was concerned he was being SET UP by the Chief.
Reppucci has stated and it is recorded in Kelvin Macie's report he felt he was being targeted for termination for reporting illegal and unethical activities going on at the Winchester Police Department.
Both Deputy Kelvin Macie and Chief Gary Phillips testified Reppucci was being questioned during an internal investigation and during that questioning he failed to cooperate.
Why would they testify that it was an internal investigation and not a criminal investigation?
Simple, if it was internal investigation, he was insubordinate; if it was a criminal investigation, he wasn't, as he was exercising his constitutional right to speak with counsel under the law and the department policies he was employed under.
In order to discredit and go after Reppucci, the Chief with the help of Kelvin Macie had to tell everyone AND also testify that Reppucci was bad and wasn't following orders. That he was being insubordinate and he had to be disposed of, immediately, that he was a threat to the department.
The Chief and Deputy colluded to successfully violate his constitutional rights.
They lied about the fact it was a criminal investigation. They hid and covered up that very important fact up making people believe that they did nothing wrong but that Reppucci was the one who was wrong. Including to the courts.
Both try to discredit Reppucci saying he's just a disgruntled employee who is mad he didn't get a promotion.
Dan Reppucci's story makes sense, a pretend break in and a person fired are just too coincidental and a history with this Chief.
Those who know Reppucci know he wouldn't have given up a 15 year career because he didn't get a promotion. He has an extensive and accomplished background and his yearly reviews were near perfect year after year, including the one he got just a few months before this entire matter. The Chief going on and on for pages about Reppucci's accomplishments, self sacriface, availability even after hours, with NO EXTRA pay, to the department and officers and his importance to both the agency and the Chief and how his professionalism carries over into the rest of the police community.
Reppucci: Sergeant, Detective, Police Prosecutor for several years, educated, disciplined.
Realistically, even if there was some problem, you would think that the Chief wouldn't just "throw away" such a loyal employee whom he relied on and who was always there for both him and the Department.
The Chief's story makes no sense.
Those who know Reppucci know the real story know that the problem is that he had information the Chief didn't and still doesn't want out in public. Information he doesn't want the public to know about.
The Chief TRIED to VIOLATE this Officer's Constitutional Rights when he ordered him, demanded the Officer immediately cooperate and immediately answer questions in the Deputy's criminal investigation.
Reppucci held firm, stood his ground and honored the Oath of Office he took to not violate the law and to Uphold the Constitution.
The Chief couldn't find anything else this Officer had done wrong so he had his Lt. Chris Roberts check his emails and fabricate yet another story.
They both tell a story about how he was stealing confidential documents.
Reppucci says that's a ridiculous lie. Reppucci has proof that Roberts lied under oath and fabricated his story because the only emails he ever had were work related and turned in when complete and nothing was ever stolen.
Reppucci said that the emails he had were emails that there show there were problems with some of the employees at the police department, including Roberts.
Reppucci has said he was given an assignment to investigate some goings on at the police department and it's not his fault that the truth ended up being negative for Roberts and the Chief wanted it covered up.
Reppucci had been bringing forward knowledge of Criminal and Unethical Activity going on and is still going on in the police department. So far it's swept under carpets. Sooner or later that will stop happening.
Reppucci wants to see Justice done and these people properly disciplined and removed from their poistions for what they have done to him and to others.
Reppucci wants the opportunity to clear his name. He has said he will continue that fight until the truth comes out. We will continue to help him.
Phillips, Macie and Roberts have ALL violated their Oath of Office and should be ashamed of themselves for even thinking they fall into the same class as real, honest and hardworking Law Enforcement Professionals.
Police Corruption Needs to be Exposed and Needs to be Dealt with Legally.
The THIN BLUE LINE needs to be CROSSED.
Please feel free to share your stories and comments.
Christopher Roberts - Lt, Winchester NH Police Department
Gary Phillips - Chief, Winchester Police NH Department
