Camden Select Board appoints Alan Weaver as police chief
Summary
The Camden Select Board approved the appointment of Alan Weaver as police chief at a special meeting, endorsing an internal candidate with 23 years at the department; Weaver thanked the community and former Chief Gagne in brief remarks before the board adjourned.
The Camden Select Board voted to appoint Alan Weaver as the town's new police chief at a short special public meeting, approving the employment agreement before adjourning.
The Town Manager said the hiring process included multiple rounds of interviews with a police chief hiring committee and the select board and that an internal candidate consistently met the department's needs. "It's my great pleasure to introduce the Camden Police Department's new police chief, Alan Weaver," the Town Manager said.
The appointment was moved by the chair and was seconded on the record; the chair called for a vote, asked if there were any opposed, and declared none opposed. The transcript does not record a formal numerical roll-call or exact vote tally.
Weaver, who the Town Manager said has served with the Camden Police Department for 23 years and most recently as a sergeant, gave remarks thanking the hiring committee, the select board and his family. "It is the honor of a lifetime to serve the people of Camden as your police chief," Weaver said, and he praised former Chief Gagne for mentorship and guidance.
The Town Manager noted a ceremonial badge exchange during the meeting. After the appointment and Weaver's remarks, the board moved to adjourn and the chair declared the meeting closed.
The board took no other public actions at the special meeting.
