WAREHAM – Chief John Walcek’s three-plus decades of service on the Wareham Police Dept. come to a close Saturday, April 17.
He’s working right up until then.
“The day-to-day stuff keeps rolling in so I’m dealing with that,” he said last week.
He was on duty at Saturday’s massive outdoor town meeting at Spillane Field, and offered a thumb’s up to the cheering crowd when introduced by Town Moderator Claire Smith.
He demurred on interjecting himself and addressing the crowd from the podium, though.
Asked during an interview whether he was prepared for people to leap out from behind station office furniture for a surprise retirement party in these closing days, he laughed.
