• Medfield Police Chief Placed on Paid Administrative Leave (town.news) — Medfield residents should know that Police Chief Michelle Guerette has been placed on paid administrative leave while an outside investigator reviews alleged violations of department policies. Town officials say the Medfield Police Department will continue operating under its existing command structure and in compliance with state POST Commission requirements, but are declining further comment because it is a personnel matter.
