Lieutenant Troy Cline of the Hooksett Police Dept. in New Hampshire has been named the new Wiscasset Police Chief, Town Manager Laurie Smith said at the Wiscasset Board of Selectmen’s meeting Aug. 16.
“It was his command presence, technical knowledge, commitment and vision for the citizens of Wiscasset that swayed the selection committee,” Smith said.
The selection process included meetings with two panels and a final interview.
The panels consisted of citizens, including business owners, school representatives and town officials. Nine of 12 representatives on the first panel chose Cline as their top choice for police chief.
Cline will depart the Hooksett Police Dept. Fri., Aug. 26 and begin his tenure as Wiscasset Police Chief on Mon., Aug. 29.
