Cheshire Hires Adams Officer as New Police Chief
By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
Matthew Wright shakes hands with board members and Town Administrator Jennifer Morse on Friday after being offered the post.
CHESHIRE, Mass. — Adams Police Sgt. Matthew Wright has been tapped as Cheshire's next police chief.
The four present board members unanimously voted to hire him after an interview on Friday afternoon held during a special Selectmen's meeting.
Wright was the only finalist for a police chief search that lasted several months. The only public who attended, other than iBerkshires, was interim Police Chief Timothy Garner and Wright's wife.
The board will meet in executive session with Wright for contract negotiations then set an open session to establish a start date.
Board member Scott McWhirt recused himself from the interview as he had worked with Wright in the Adams Police Department prior to his retirement in 2016.
Wright highlighted his deep roots in Cheshire, where he was born and raised, being a Hoosac Valley High School graduate and earning an associate degree in criminal justice from Berkshire Community College and later a bachelor's from Westfield State University.
Now, he is raising his own family in town, following in his father's footsteps by giving back to the community by being a volunteer coach and participates in local festivities.
Wilk-Chaffee joined two of her fellow Beautification Group members in an appearance before the Selectmen to update the elected officials on the non-profit's activities around town and explain its role in town.
