GLOUCESTER, MA – Police Chief Ed Conley has retired from the Gloucester Police Department after seven years of dedicated leadership. The City of Gloucester has formally initiated the process to identify and appoint the next Chief of Police. Chief Conley retired after serving more than three decades in law enforcement. He leaves behind a legacy of accountability and community trust, and was instrumental in restructuring the Department management. 

In accordance with city ordinances, the City is required to establish a screening committee to review and evaluate candidates for the position. This committee will play an essential role in ensuring a fair, thorough, and transparent selection process that reflects the values and expectations of our community. 

To assist in this effort, pursuant to the city ordinance, the Mayor has engaged MGT Impact Solutions, a qualified recruitment and assessment consultant with expertise in public safety executive searches. The firm will assist the screening committee and guide the City through a comprehensive and professional search process. 

While the search is underway, we are proud to announce that Assistant Chief Michael Williams will serve as Acting Chief of Police. Acting Chief Williams brings more than 30 years of law enforcement experience and a deep knowledge of the Gloucester community. His steady leadership will ensure continuity and the continued delivery of the high standards of professional police service that residents expect and deserve.

The search for a new chief will be ongoing and the City will update everyone once the screening committee has been appointed. The selection process will include a public meeting to discuss the process itself and the candidates that are being reviewed. We are confident that we will find the best candidate for the job, and are looking forward to this new chapter for the Police Department and the City of Gloucester.

December 2007. That’s when I launched the blog.

While seeing many blogs come and go, or vanish a couple of months after launching, it’s been our team that has been creating content for our community for almost two decades.

Thanks to my friends that submit their stories, photos and community announcements to make everyone touched by it enriched. 100,000 posts over 19 years comes to roughly 14.5 posts a day, every day over that span. That’s unwavering dedication and I couldn’t be prouder of our team.
