Sergeant Louis DiBacco has been serving as Acting Chief of the Rehoboth Police Department since January, following the retirement of longtime Chief James Trombetta.
DiBacco’s appointment as Police Chief on a permanent basis is yet to be determined. “Within a year, both sides will make a decision if he’s going to continue,” Selectmen Chair Skip Vadnais said Monday.
In 2020, the Board signed Trombetta to a six year contract which was due to expire in June 2027. Trombetta is serving with the Police Department as a Director of Law Enforcement Operations. The position is unpaid.
Trombetta is assisting DiBacco with the managerial operations of the department, along with Sue Pimental, Director of Finance.
“That’s a lot of responsibility for a man and (DiBacco) wants to be sure he can do it. He knows he has a lot to learn but he has a very good teacher. He has plenty of support as we work through this,” Vadnais added.
