HAVERHILL - A police lieutenant in charge of the department's internal affairs was himself the focus of a secret police investigation where he was videotaped numerous times spending hours at a woman's home while on duty and then lied about it to his superiors.
John D. Rogers, 48, a police officer of 23 years, retired June 23, shortly before police Chief Alan DeNaro submitted a June 29 report saying he was prepared to fire Rogers. DeNaro cited 10 Police Department rules Rogers had violated, including immoral conduct, neglect of duty, conduct unbecoming an officer, unsatisfactory performance, truthfulness as well as having violated department rules about internal records and confidentiality.
"Due to the severity of these violations it is my recommendation that Lieutenant John Rogers should be terminated from employment as a police officer for the city of Haverhill," DeNaro wrote. "Due to the fact that Lieutenant Rogers retired effective June 23, 2011, no further action will be taken on this investigation."
