Norwell: Police Chief Ted Ross Announces Retirement in November

by | Jul 22, 2020 | News

Norwell Police Chief Ted Ross says he’ll be retiring after three decades of service to the town.

Ross said in a letter to the Selectmen that it’s been an honor serving the town for almost 33 years. He started with the department at age 19 as a 911 dispatcher.

“It’s pretty emotional for me, being here for 33 years. I’ve had the opportunity to speak with you guys a little bit, I do appreciate your support throughout my tenure,” he told the board on Tuesday. “It’s always important for the Fire Chief and the Police Chief to have the support of the Board of Selectmen so they can get things accomplished. It doesn’t happen unless there’s a great relationship, which we’ve had, so I appreciate that.”

The Selectmen were unanimous in their support for Ross, including Vice-Chair Jason Brown.

“I think you had a good strength for community policing and really every aspect of what the job entails, and you did it with honor,” said Brown. “Thank you for your service and I look forward to working with you through the rest of your work here in the town. Of course, I wish you the best onto a new chapter.”

Ross thanked the men and women of the Norwell PD for all they do.

“No matter what the challenges are placed in front of them, and today there’s many. They continue to handle everything with professionalism,” said Ross. “A special thanks to my Administrative Assistant Marion [Kaskiewicz] and the Deputy Police Chief [Carol Brzuszek] for their unwavering professionalism and support over the years. I really couldn’t have done it without their support.”

Town Administrator Peter Morin says they’ll start looking for a successor, but it’ll be hard to find someone like Ross.  

“What makes him an exceptional Chief is his willingness to the hard things. The things that aren’t fun, but are important to keeping an organization well-run,” said Morin. “He demands a high level of performance in every aspect of the department. He demands that of himself as well. He doesn’t ask his officers to do anything he’s not willing to do himself.”
