Brockton Mayor's Chief of Staff to Resign

BROCKTON, MA — After three years on the job, Bob Buckley will leave his post as the mayor's chief of staff.

In a statement, Buckley says he will return to a teaching position in the Brockton Public School system, according to WATD.

Brockton Police Department Director of Communications and Community Liaison Darren Duarte is set to replace Buckley. Sources tell the radio station that a police union grievance that was filed regarding the initial hiring of Duarte, may have triggered the move.

Duarte starts in his new position on Sept. 1, the day after Buckley leaves.
