Francis M. "Mickey" Roache is an American law enforcement officer and politician who is the Suffolk County Register of Deeds. He previously served as Boston Police Commissioner from 1985 to 1993 and was a member of the Boston City Council from 1996 to 2002. ==Law enforcement== On February 1, 1985, Roache, a lieutenant who headed the Boston Police Department's Community Disorders Unit, was appointed acting Police Commissioner. On March 13 he was sworn in as permanent Commissioner by Mayor Raymond Flynn. During his tenure as Commissioner, Roache instituted mandatory drug testing for BPD employees. Roache was Commissioner during the Charles Stuart case. The police's mishandling of the case caused African-American leaders to call for Roache's resignation. In December 1990, the Massachusetts Attorney General's office released a report which detailed a variety of civil rights violations committed by the Boston Police Department. Violations described in the report included random frisking of minority youth and coercing witnesses to testify in the Stuart case. After several shootings of unarmed victims by police, alleged mismanagement in the Internal Affairs Department, and a report issued by United States Attorney Wayne Budd detailing allegations of police misconduct, Mayor Flynn was pressured to fire Roache. Flynn refused to fire Roache, which caused critics of the police department to claim that Roache's friendship with the Mayor was the reason he was still Commissioner. During the 1991 mayoral election, candidate Edward J. Doherty promised that if elected, he would fire Roache. Flynn appointed a commission led by Boston attorney James St. Clair to investigate the Police Department. The commission recommended that Flynn fire Roache. On June 24, 1993 Roache announced his resignation effective June 30. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Francis Roache」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
