Brian Boom also claims the officials – City Councilwoman Wendy McCammack and City Attorney James F. Penman – copied and destroyed his personnel file.
Boom declined to comment on his claim. His attorney, Geoffrey Hopper, said in a voicemail message that the case is “an ongoing legal matter and we’re not going to able to comment on this.”
The timeline of Boom’s October promotion coincided with one of the recurring flare ups between police brass and the department’s rank-and-file.
