Farwell, Matthew (formerly of Stoughton P.D.)

Voluntary Decertification Agreement (PDF) and Decertification Order (PDF) issued March 21, 2024. Summary: Farwell entered into a Voluntary Decertification Agreement under which he agreed that the allegations made against him would support revoking his law enforcement officer certification. Those allegations included that: he had a sexual relationship with a member of the Stoughton Police Explorers Program who was 15 years old at the time while Farwell was 27; that Farwell subsequently pursued additional sexual encounters with the victim by various means as recently as 2020; that such encounters continued over an extended period; and that Farwell was untruthful during a law enforcement investigation into the victim’s death.
