As Owl readers know, Weston Police Chief Michael Goulding retires on December 31. You can review that story here. On December 22, 2021, the Weston Select Board named Weston Police Captain Thomas Kelly as the Acting Police Chief until the search committee names a permanent Chief in 2022.

Captain Kelly is a 22-year veteran of the Weston Police Department, is a standing member of the Weston Traffic & Sidewalk Committee and an incredibly responsive person to the Owl’s 5,000,000,000 questions over the year this site has been published. He was only elusive when asked for a photo, so we had to go to google archives. We will do better when we return to full staffing in January.

We’re in good hands, Weston.

Please remember to complete the town’s Police Chief Survey, due January 14.
