Interim Chief Candidate Interviewed

Residents tonight got an opportunity to question one of the two candidates for the position of interim chief –-John Cotton, who has retired from his position as Police Chief in Williamsburg. He also has experience as a senior lieutenant in the Northampton Police Department.

When asked how he would deal with some of the controversies that the town has faced in the last year, Cotton repeatedly stressed the importance of transparency. He also maintains that every police officer should be Academy trained.

Residents will get the chance to meet and question the other candidate, Mr. Ed Cronin, on Tuesday, February 23rd at town hall. Mr. Cronin is retired from positions as chief of both the Fitchburg and Gardner departments.
