Chief K. Scott Kelley takes the oath from Town Clerk Haley Meczywor. Kelley is the town s third police chief in a year. ADAMS, Mass. New Police Chief K. Scott Kelley says he already feels at home and is looking forward to spending time getting to know his officers. The thing that I m looking forward to the most is actually spending time with my officers, he said on Tuesday. I can t say it enough, and I mean every word of it.

ADAMS â The lone finalist in the townâs search for a new police chief, K. Scott Kelley, has accepted the job offer and will start work Jan. 18, he said.
Kelley was one of 37 applicants for the job to succeed Richard Tarsa, who retired this year. Troy Bacon, of Indiana, has been serving as acting chief until the Select Board could find Tarsaâs successor.
Kelley and former Egremont Police Chief Erik Josephson were the two finalists interviewed Dec. 8. The board voted 3-1 the next day to make an offer to Kelley. The Select Board still has to agree to the contract, so, a salary has not yet been announced, although, according to Town Administrator Jay Green, the contract is for three years and the annual salary will be more than $80,000.
