This afternoon, the Globe is reporting that MA AG Martha Coakley has launched an investigation into the MA Probatoin Department based on the findings in the Ware report.
In response to a letter from MA Republican Leadership, Ms. Coakley said the following:
"Your letter rightly states that the report details serious violations of the public trust,'' Coakley said in the letter. "Our office has already begun an investigation to determine the scope of the violations of state law.''
She added, "the report outlines a troubling and extensive scheme which lessened public confidence in the process of selecting probation officers and compromised public safety.''
