Edgartown Police Officer William Bishop was formally promoted to Sergeant Wednesday, and is being assigned as a patrol supervisor.
Surrounded by family and friends, Bishop was sworn in as the department’s newest sergeant. Last year, Bishop was part of a group of officers who participated in a rigorous promotional process.
Bishop has been employed by the Edgartown Police Department since 2004, beginning as a traffic officer. In 2007, he became a special police officer, and was promoted to full-time police officer in 2010.
Bishop is a homegrown talent, having graduated from the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School. He holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Westfield State University, is a trainer for new department personnel, and is the manager and creator of several department community policing initiatives. He lives in Edgartown with his wife, Grace, and daughter, Olivia.
Congrats Will!
Congratulations!
