Haverhill’s new Deputy Police Chief Stephen J. Doherty Jr. and Capt. Meaghan Paré were formally sworn in during a Thursday morning ceremony in City Hall.
Mayor James J. Fiorentini said Doherty has big shoes to fill, noting the presence of recently retired Deputy Chief Anthony Haugh in the audience.
“You’re stepping in to be one of the leaders of a great department that I’m so proud of that it will be one of the few departments in the state that will be federally accredited—up 22 people from where you were a few years ago—and I know you’re going to be a great leader in this department,” the mayor said.
