Acting Edgartown police chief Tony Bettencourt was officially appointed the town’s chief of police, at a board of selectmen meeting Monday afternoon.

The swearing-in ceremony was short and sweet, wrapping up in under a minute. “That’s probably the easiest thing you’ll do as chief,” joked selectman Michael Donaroma.

Chief Bettencourt was promoted from lieutenant to acting chief in early June. Former police chief Paul Condlin announced his retirement in January, after 33 years in the Edgartown police department, and 15 years as chief.
