New Ipswich Police Chief Tim Carpenter has announced he will be retiring at the end of June, after nearly a decade leading the department.
The Select Board announced Friday that Carpenter’s retirement is effective as of July 1.
Carpenter has been a member of the town’s police force for 18 years, and was tapped to lead the department nine years ago, after the departure of former Chief Garrett Chamberlain.
In a statement issued by Carpenter, he thanked those who had supported him in his town work over the years.
“I want to thank all past and present Department Heads, town employees, the various boards and Emergency Service Agencies who have supported the Police Department over the years,” Carpenter wrote. “I also want to thank State and Federal agencies that have provided support and assistance through the years.”
