Introducing Chief Enos

Posted

Town and state officials, along with members of the Seekonk Police Department gathered Saturday for the installation of David Enos as Chief of Police.

 “Over the years you have faced many challenges and always found a way to set an example no matter what the circumstances,” Selectmen Chair Michael Healy said.

“I am lucky to be able to continue to contribute to an organization with such a rich history,” Enos said. “An opportunity to build off its strong foundation and leave this department a better organization like so many Chiefs before me. There have been many challenges over the past several years and members of this department have always maintained their commitment to serve and protect our community.”

Enos also recognized the leadership of former Chiefs Ron Charron, Craig Mace, and Dana Beal.

State Senator Marc Pacheco, D-Bristol and Norfolk, and State Rep. Steven Howitt, R-Seekonk, praised Enos.

The invocation and benediction were led by Father Edward A. Murphy.

The Seekonk Police Honor Guard presented the colors at the beginning of the ceremony.

Enos, who joined the department in 2003, was appointed by the Board of Selectmen in February following the termination of former Chief Dean Isabella. Isabella, who had a year remaining on his contract, filed a lawsuit against the town and the selectmen for breach of contract.

Prior to Isabella’s termination, Town Administrator Shawn Cadime explained the police department needed to undergo a “directional shift.”
