Seekonk to Hire Five Police Officers

Police Chief David Enos plans to ask the Select Board to extend conditional offers of employment for five new officers at their meeting on Wednesday.

Due to a staffing shortage, the day to day operation of the Detective Division has been closed.

Enos said the personnel have been reassigned to the Patrol Division for an undetermined time frame. However, the detectives will be available for what Enos calls “significant incidents.”

There are three recruits at the state’s police academy to assist with the shortage.

Police Officer John Domagala’s resignation was accepted at the January 17 Select Board meeting.
