Great Barrington, Massachusetts has chosen a new permanent police chief. 53-year-old Paul Storti is a town native. The former sergeant has been Acting Police Chief since December, when Chief William Walsh retired after 40 years. His official start date remains pending as he negotiates a contract with the town. Storti, who’s been with the department since 1995, spoke with WAMC about why community outreach is his top priority, and what he learned from calls to cut public funding for the department at last year’s town meeting.
STORTI: I have started my law enforcement career in 1989. I worked part time for the Town of Egremont. A few years after that, I started working also from the Town of Sheffield on a part-time basis. And then in 1995, I was hired with the Town of Great Barrington as a full-time police officer
