Westwood Names Three Finalists for Next Police Chief

The town has narrowed its search for the next chief of police to three finalists, moving the process into its next phase after a national search to replace the department's outgoing leadership. No further details on the candidates or a timeline for a final selection have been released.

Separately, town officials unveiled a smaller design for a rebuilt Fire Station 1 and are asking residents to weigh in on how its cost compares with earlier, larger proposals. The town has not yet released a public meeting date or comment deadline for that input.

A water main break on Pine Lane closed the road to vehicle traffic. The town did not specify an expected repair timeline as of Wednesday.
