Massachusetts has agreed to a $40 million settlement in a long-running case brought by police who had argued that the state’s promotional exam to attain the rank of sergeant discriminated against Black and Hispanic candidates.
The agreement could affect about 600 current and former police officers and calls on the state to create a new test that better measures the skills needed to serve as a police sergeant according to the settlement filed Friday in Suffolk Superior Court.
Both sides are due back in court May 10 for a final hearing during which Wilkins is expected to decide whether to approve the settlement. In communities outside Boston, where officers of color would likely have been promoted if not for the state’s test, eligible officers will receive at least $45,000.
