Update on Search for New Waltham Police Chief
Whomever is chosen will be the permanent success to former chief Thomas LaCroix.
Mayor Jeannette McCarthy has narrowed her search for a new Waltham Police chief to one "semi-finalist," she said Wednesday.
McCarthy would not say who the semi-finalist was but said an outside agency is conducting a background check on the candidate as well as a medical review.
Acting Chief Keith MacPherson, Captain Donald Feeney, Captain Steven Champeon and Captain William Stanton have all applied for the position.
McCarthy did not specify when she would present her choice to the City Council for confirmation. However, whomever is chosen will be the permanent successor to former chief Thomas LaCroix. LaCroix resigned earlier this after he was convicted of assaulting his wife.
