Description
Alleged outrageous, possibly illegal, conduct at an inn and during a parade on the part of some of the approximately ninety off-duty police officers of Boston, who journeyed to another city to represent the Boston police department at a weekend celebration and who marched in uniform under the department's flag, was a proper subject of inquiry by the Boston police commissioner [41-43]; and a questionnaire sent to about one hundred forty off-duty Boston police officers directly and factually relating to events occurring at the inn and the parade was narrowly limited and reasonably related to determining the ""fitness"" of recipients of the questionnaire as police officers, and all recipients must provide written answers [35-44]. This is an appeal by the plaintiffs, who are police officers in the city of Boston, from a declaratory judgment entered by a Superior Court Judge declaring, in essence, that the officers must provide written answers to a number of written questions addressed to the officers by the defendant, who is the police commissioner of the city of Boston (commissioner). After the appeal was entered in the Appeals Court, the case was transferred to this court on our own motion. We affirm.
