The Town Council voted to petition the Legislature to make the position of deputy police chief exempt from civil service law. Police Chief Terence Delehanty asked the council for the creation of the position in order to have a stronger structure in the police department. Under the plan being formulated, the chief will have someone working closely with him who will be able to take over in the event he is not present.
The idea was accepted by Town’s Rules and Ordinance Committee and now will go to the Legislature. There is no word yet on when the position will be created.
