MANCHESTER-BY-THE-SEA – Chief Todd Fitzgerald and the Manchester-by-the-Sea Police Department are pleased to share that Lieutenant Mark McCoy has successfully graduated from the FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Association’s (FBI-LEEDA) Five Star Chief Executive Institute.  Lt. McCoy graduated from FBI-LEEDA’s inaugural Five Star Chief Executive Institute on June 27 after completing the two-week, 18-module program held in Smyrna, Del. During the training, leaders from across the country discussed and learned about a variety of topics, including public-private partnerships, crisis communication, leadership integrity, liability management, wellness and more. The goal of the training was to better equip participants with the tools for making informed, strategic and accountable decisions.   This is the first Five Star Chief Executive Institute program that was offered by FBI-LEEDA, and the official launch of the program is expected to take place this fall.  Lt. McCoy has served as a member of the Manchester-by-the-Sea Police Department for 29 years and was promoted to lieutenant in 2019. He also serves as an Executive Officer and oversees operations, patrol, detectives, school resource officers, court officers, accreditation, and supervises and leads training across the department. “I would like to congratulate Lt. McCoy on his accomplishment in successfully graduating from this program,” said Chief Fitzgerald. “His commitment to education shows his exceptional leadership skills, and we are proud to have him serving our community.”  ###

Thank you to Boo Bird on Central St in Manchester for a lovely respite after our long drive home from New York. It was the perfect place to stop and refresh ourselves before we arrived home. I had the American Rice Bowl and Jim had the Fish and Chips. Jim was very happy with the fish batter..not too heavy with good flavor. Everyone has their batter preferences for fish and this hit the mark for Jim. I loved my salad. The screened open window seating was super comfortable on that warm day. We’ll be back soon!
