Members of the Worcester Police Department represented 90 of the city’s top 100 earners in 2020, according to payroll records.
City Manager Edward Augustus Jr. took home the highest paycheck, making a total of $279,770 in 2020, keeping on trend with payroll records from previous years. Police Chief Steven Sargent received the city’s second-largest salary, taking home $239,130, records indicate.
Aside from police officers, a handful of other employees are among the highest-paid workers, including the city’s assistant city manager, administrators at the Worcester Public Schools, the city solicitor and the late DPW head.

Traditionally, Christmas and Easter services are when churches see a spike in attendance.
Perhaps that may be the case tomorrow, but not in ways we’re used to.
“Last year this time, Father Walter and I were absolutely alone in the church,” Rev. Joseph Ashe of Christ the King Church in Old Lyme tells us.
Yet this year, on one of the holiest days, Christ the King Church welcomes parishioners for its Easter vigil mass.
Worshippers are met with liturgies and candles. Also visible are health guidelines.
