In Memoriam
Remembering Lieutenant William E. "Billy" Chapman
It is with deep regret that the Foster Police Department announces the passing of retired Lieutenant William E. Chapman, a twenty-seven year member of the Department. Upon his retirement in 2005, Lt. Chapman remained with the Department on a part-time basis until his illness. Bill was a well-known and well respected police officer in the town, and beyond. He loved his job at the Department and it was obvious. He was always willing to extend a hand, go the extra mile, and always did so in a quiet and unassuming way. He received a number of awards and commendations throughout his career. He will be sorely missed. Read more in the Providence Journal.
A Picture from the Past...
The officers in this photo are (left to right): Ed Garnsey, Warren Crookes, Clayton Salisbury and Chief Fricker.
The picture was taken in Scituate in the parking lot of the North Scituate Elementary School. The Police Officers were possibly attending a parade at the time that this photo was taken.
