Episode 4: Lee Kyriacou: About Federal Investigation Of The Beacon Police Department Prior To 2010
Lee Kyriacou, best known for his passion for real estate development and is part of how he was elected as Mayor of Beacon in 2019, also took on the Beacon Police Department in the early 2000s. Why? Because of a lot of overtime money being spent, and what felt like excessive spending on things like four police dogs. We love dogs. Especially german shepherds. So no judgement here. But what was going on?
During the second and biggest Black Lives Matter March, which ended in an open mic session (as they all have), Lee alluded to this role he served as initiating the federal investigation into the Beacon Police Department of the dark ages, while the crowd boo-ed the letter from the Police Benevolent Association (PBA) that he tried to read to participants.
Brandon and Katie heard him refer to this accomplishment of being involved with changing the Beacon Police Department, and wanted to interview him for more intel.
This interview will shed a lot of light on the Beacon Police Department prior to 2010, when a lot of stories take place. That said, stories still happen, but this was a big period for Beacon.
