Candidates To Be Interviewed for Police Chief
Chief John Moore is retiring as the Chief of Police in Holliston after serving six years as chief and twenty two years in the department.
His retirement is effective April 4, 2017. Chief Moore replaced Chief Tom Lambert who served as chief.
Over thirty potential candidates expressed interest in becoming the chief to replace John Moore. An Assessment Service was hired to review the applicants and recommend about ten to be considered for this position and reviewed by a local board. This Holliston review committee recommended four applicants to be interviewed by the Board of Selectmen who will make the final decision.
The finalists, now three, are Lt. David Gatchell, Sgt. Matthew Stone and Sgt. Matthew Waugh. The finalists are currently members of the Holliston Police Department. The fourth finalist has voluntarily withdrawn his application. He was an outside applicant.
Lt. David Gatchell
Sgt. Matthew Waugh
Sgt. Matthew Stone
The Selectmen will interview Lt. Gatchell and Sgt. Stone in room 105 Town Hall on Tuesday at 7:30pm and 8:30pm. Sgt. Waugh is scheduled to be interviewed on Wednesday at 8:00 in room 105 at 8:00pm.
The Selectmen will review the applicants and select the new Chief of Police for Holliston.

Bill: I thought an earlier report stated there were 4 final candidates. Am I in error, or did someone drop out? Thanks, Bill

Is there any opportunity for public input/comment? It seems as though that would be important for this position.
