Select Board to Start Search for Interim Police Chief

The Select Board agreed tonight to begin their search for an interim police chief. Citing conversations he has had with citizens since last week's open hearing, board chair Ted Murray said that he now felt that the town should work to bring in an interim chief as quickly as possible.

At last week’s meeting on the D.A.’s findings on open meeting law violations, Wayne Sampson of the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association said that the town could put an interim chief in place in a matter of weeks. The board agreed to contact Sampson for names and resumes of potential candidates for the job.

In other business, Ted Murray and Dave DeHerdt voted, with Tom Ulrich opposed, to change the current two-day notice time for executive hearings to ten days, except when critical circumstances make a shorter time more prudent.
