Wethersfield’s police chief is retiring several months after he was placed on paid leave for interfering with a town manager’s investigation of two police sergeants.
“It has been an honor to serve the great residents of Wethersfield for over 47 years,” Chief James Cetran wrote in a Feb. 6 letter to the town. “While I intend to retire, I remain committed to Wethersfield and our continued success.”
But the retirement comes on the heels of controversy. Cetran, 70, was placed on leave by Town Manager Gary Evans in November. Evans said he got an anonymous tip that two Wethersfield police sergeants, Jennie and Oscar Rivera, had “abused time.”
