Adams Posts Permanent Police Chief Job

By Tammy Daniels iBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — More than a year after its police chief was put on administrative leave, the town of Adams is finally seeking a permanent replacement. 
 
The Board of Selectmen last week voted to advertise the position with a salary range of $110,000 to $125,000 and with the expectation of interviewing finalists in early December. 
 
The town is seeking an experienced law enforcement or security officer who's worked in a supervisory role for at least five years and be able to meet Massachusetts Peace Standards and Training Commission standards.
 
Town Administrator Nick Caccamo provided the board with the draft minutes from the July's Public Safety Committee meeting and its recommendations for job posting.
 
He reminded the board that the police chief is one of two positions that report directly to the board, the other being the town administrator. 
 
Board members reviewed the salary and experience requirements, leaning toward what the committee had advised with the pay level. 
 
Caccamo said interim Police Timothy Sorrell had compiled salary information for chiefs within Berkshire County and that he had created the data sheet looking at metrics such as population and number of staff members. Sorrell, a former Lanesborough chief, stepped in as interim last year.
