As Selectmen in Swansea continues the process of selecting a new full time Police Chief in a process that many not conclude until mid January. 

Former Swansea Police Chief George Aruda has agreed to act as the interim chief until a successor is selected and a contract negotiated. 

Swansea City Administrator Mallory Aronstein indicated to Swansea Selectmen last night that each side had agreed to the contract with the interim chief. 

Each side has 14 days to end the agreement, which goes into effect on the second day of January.
