The Methuen City Council unanimously approved Katherine Lavigne as Chief of Police last night. The vote was 7-0, with Councilor John Cronin abstaining and Councilor Larry Giordano absent. Chief Lavigne has done an outstanding job for this community under some difficult circumstances, and had an opportunity to show her abilities during this interim time period. The City Council also confirmed Thomas Fram as Executive Captain, Gregory Gallant as Lieutenant, and Kenneth Leone as Sargent. Congratulations to all.
