Select Board unanimously approves promotion of Officer Travis Moran to sergeant

The Select Board voted unanimously to promote Officer Travis Moran to the rank of sergeant, effective Sept. 3. Chief James Sicks told the board the department used a written exam, a rigorous assessment center and a panel interview to evaluate candidates and recommended Moran based on leadership and service in traffic safety.

“Sgt. Moran joined the Natick police department in December 2014,” Chief James Sicks said, and described Moran’s experience as a field-training officer and recent assignment to the traffic division. The board moved the recommendation (moved by Mr. Evans; seconded by Ms. Wolschlager) and the chair announced the outcome as a five‑zero vote. Moran thanked the board and family members in the room, saying, “I won't let you down.”
