Officer Cleared After Yearlong Review

After a tense year-long investigation, Westerly police officer Timothy Cieciorka is cleared of all wrongdoing and set to return to duty — despite being fired by the department over policy violations. A grand jury reviewed body cam footage from his March 2025 arrest and declined to charge him, and his legal team successfully argued he acted professionally during a dangerous encounter. Though the official review panel’s decision remains pending, his attorney confirmed all charges are dropped and that Cieciorka is eager to resume serving his community. The police chief declined to comment, keeping details confidential, but the officer’s return marks a major victory for accountability and a reaffirmation of his dedication to public service.
