Controversies
In October 2024, Triton Regional High School's School Resource Officer, John R. Lucey III, resigned[2] from the Newbury, Massachusetts, Police Department following an investigation into his relationship with a recently graduated Triton student. Documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act say this was the second known instance of Lucey — whose father was formerly the Chief of Police in Newbury — dating a former student, the first being his later ex-wife, whom he began dating a year after her graduation in 2012.[2]
The investigation, which initiated in May 2024, found that Lucey had established a personal relationship with student before graduation and later misrepresented details[2] of the relationship to authorities. While the inquiry determined his actions were unbecoming of an officer, no violations of state law were found. His resignation came before a Human Resources recommendation for his termination.
The incident has led to ongoing discussions between the Newbury Police Department and Triton Regional School District about the future and efficacy of the School Resource Officer program.[2]
