Correction, according to the city's historical date of hire records, obtained thru APRA, Mclaughlin's original date of hire was
May 29th, 1988. As with each chief before him, he never answers questions pertaining to overtime. The fact of the matter is that all chiefs should be required to stay on until 65. At 51 he leaves with a $108,000 yr pension with 3% compound cola, and free lifetime healthcare. Chiefs rotate out every 2 years on average in Warwick in their early 50's. Think of what that does to pension liability for the taxpayers.
The solution is to give that position an extra 25K in salary and enter a contract to stay until age 65. That is what mayor Dan Mazzarella did in Leominister MA. Saved the taxpayers millions. Ends the pension spiking.
