Pembroke: Selectmen poised to name new police chief

Pembroke selectmen are expected to name a new police chief at their meeting Monday night.

Chief Michael Ohrenberger is retiring after 32-years with the department.

His last day on the job is October 26^th.

Pembroke uses the Civil Service system to appoint public safety employees, meaning among other things, that candidates are ranked based on how they did on a written exam.

That puts Sgt. Richard Wall at the top of the list, followed by Sgt. Paul Ridley, and Lt. Michael Jenness.

Typically the top-ranked candidate is chosen.

The meeting is at 7 p.m. Monday at Pembroke Town Hall, and WATD will be there.
