Cheshire Seeking Volunteers for Police Chief Hiring Committee
CHESHIRE, Mass. — The town is seeking resident volunteers for its Police Chief Hiring Committee, which will find a replacement for soon-to-retire Police Chief Timothy Garner.
Garner, who has worked in the town of Cheshire for four decades, plans to retire in June. Town Administrator Jennifer Morse said conversations on the committee have been mostly preliminary so far and the exact makeup of the committee and what expertise members should have is undecided.
"I asked [theBoard of Selectmen] what road were they going to take or what avenue would the town be taking in order to hire a new chief, and they discussed just putting together a subcommittee and then getting the word out there that they're looking for interested residents to volunteer to be on that," she said.
Morse said there has been one applicant for the committee so far and was unsure if or how Garner will contribute to the committee.
Those interested in volunteering for the committee can contact Morse at 413-743-1690, Ext. 18, or jmorse@cheshire-ma.gov.
