Out with the old guard and in with the new: Wareham officially has its next chief of police. 
The Board of Selectmen unanimously approved hiring Walter Correia — who has served in the department for years, most recently as a lieutenant — to replace former Chief John Walcek, who retired April 17.
During the April 20 Selectmen’s meeting, Town Administrator Derek Sullivan told the board that he’s known Correia for about a decade. He said it’s been an honor to serve Wareham alongside Correia.
