"Great Run" From Chief O'Leary Come to End

FOXBOROUGH, MA — With nearly four decades of service to the town, Foxborough is heading to a place it hasn't been in some time - a police department without Ed O'Leary.

After 31 years as the police chief, O'Leary, with his wife Claudia, left the Foxborough Public Safety building as the chief for the last time. Following a flag ceremony at the front of the building, O'Leary left work one more time, passing the men and women of his department. Following his departure, a police detail led him home.

"I want to thank you for all the partnerships we've had. We had a great run," O'Leary told those at the salute.

For the weekend, the lieutenants will mange the department with new Police Chief William Baker taking the helm Monday morning. A formal swearing-in ceremony is scheduled for Oct. 6.
