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.

Despite the chilly, overcast evening, 61 voters gathered at 6 p.m. for the drive-in style district meeting, which was held in the Wareham High School parking lot.
