Cheshire Holds Off on Officers Until New Police Chief Hired

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
CHESHIRE, Mass. — The town is holding off on filling one of its full-time police officer positions until a new police chief is hired.
 
"I think at this point … we're getting by. Believe me, we need somebody, we need a couple of people, but we've gotten this far since February with what we have," interim Chief Timothy Garner told the Selectmen on Tuesday night.
 
"I don't want to say it's working, because obviously we need more help, but we're getting through." 
 
The department is authorized to have two full-time officers and a police chief. One of its full-timers resigned to pursue another position outside the area on April 17 and its former police chief, Michael Alibozek, was arrested for allegedly soliciting sex.
 
It is currently staffed with one full-time officer and Garner, who retired as chief in 2022, is serving as interim chief. 
 
During Tuesday's meeting, Garner emphasized that the new chief should be involved in hiring the officer, as they will be working closely together.
 
The town has been consulting with Russell Stevens, of Public Safety Consultants LLC, on the hiring of a new chief.
