SPEAKER/PRESENTER OF THE WEEK

Chief Paul Tucker, Salem Police Department

Chief Paul Tucker was sworn in as the new Chief of Police only few months ago. Prior to becoming Chief Paul was the Captain of Detectives for 18 years. The transition from Captain to Chief has been tough for Paul especially when he watches his guys get ready for a bust.

Chief Tucker spoke about some very exciting technology that the Salem Police Department may get in the future. This technology will help the Department make arrests much easier.

February 2nd - Ed Bell from Marblehead Rotary
