A press conference was scheduled for noon today for Mayor David Roberts to appoint Captain Anthony Falco as the city’s new police chief, but was stalled for a few hours. The outgoing mayor and the state have had a difference of opinion on whom to appoint. The state favored promoting Acting Chief Robert Lisa.
But by the end of today, Falco was sworn in. Falco is a department veteran who also has dabbled in film production.
In addition, Lisa was appointed to the position of deputy chief.
