We are here today with our Police Chief Eric McAvene and our new Deputy Chief Nick Maroni, for the Gardner Police Department. Happy to announce that here today. I’m really excited. I couldn’t ask for 2 better people to be on the same team with. I’d take a bullet for these two any day because I trust them with everything. I couldn’t be prouder of this team we have here and really happy to start the progress and working forward.”
Gardner Police Chief Eric McAvene stated, “If you custom-built a Police Officer and a Deputy Chief, I couldn’t build anything, better than, in my mind anything better than Nick. He’s a fantastic ambassador to the community for the Police Department and the City. He’s well-respected in the community and the Department, across the board, he’s a man of his word, strong integrity, I can’t think of a better partner for me to work with.”
New Deputy Police Chief Nicholas Maroni stated, “I’ve been here since 2010. I came from Athol PD. I’ve served as a patrolman, shift sergeant, and my most recent one was Community Policing Lieutenant, now the Deputy Chief. I’ve got to know the community very well. I’ve been heavily involved in a lot of community stuff. I really enjoy it here. I consider Gardner more my home than where I live. I spend a lot of my time here in Gardner. My son plays sports here in Gardner. We’re here all the time, and I look forward to this new adventure, and continuing the progress that we’ve started here. ”
