“Wellesley Perspectives” is a new series produced by Wellesley Media and published in partnership with The Swellesley Report.

It’s designed to provide residents with timely, concise views on matters of public interest from town leaders and others who have valuable insights.

First up is Police Chief Scott Whittemore, who touches on 2025’s personnel changes, the police memorial rededication, community events, enforcement, sustainability efforts, and a look ahead to 2026.
