The town’s next police chief will be the first department head appointed by the town administrator.

Town Administrator Annemarie Fagan told selectmen Tuesday night she expects to receive the names of the three finalists for the job within the next couple of days.

“I will interview these three candidates and I will make an appointment,” she said.

Fagan said she expects to make her choice before the next scheduled selectmen’s meeting on June 7.

The selectmen will then have 15 days to either approve or reject Fagan’s choice for the job.

She said the town had seven applicants for the job, who were interviewed by a screening committee on Friday.
