Three Police Officers Finalists For Top Colchester Job

Three veteran Vermont police officers are the finalists to become the next chief in the town of Colchester.

Colchester Lieutenants Doug Allen and Jeff Barton and Burlington Deputy Chief Jennifer Morrison are being considered to replace Chief Charles Kirker, who retired last week.

Colchester Town Manager Dawn Francis tells the Burlington Free Press that once the selection is made she expects an outside background check will take three to four weeks.

She says the town received 15 applications to succeed Kirker.
