We ask the Board of Selectman to recommend Lieutenant Todd Fitzgerald as the next Police Chief of Manchester by-the-Sea. As a life long resident of MBTS, Lieutenant Fitzgerald has served with distinction, rising through the ranks of the department, and currently acting as interim Chief. The choice could not be easier. Lieutenant Fitzgerald has earned the respect of not only the residents of town, but also the respect of the men and women with which he serves. Community policing works best when your Chief of Police is from the very community he or she has chossen to serve. We ask the Board of Selectman to act locally, and support Lieutenant Fitzgerald.
