Chief Richard Howe is pleased to report that the Tyngsborough Police Department promoted two officers to sergeant on Thursday.

Officers Chuck Rubino and Nick Silva were both sworn in by Town Clerk Joanne Shifres at Tyngsborough Town Hall, and will assume their new duties immediately. 

Sgt. Rubino has been a full-time officer with Tyngsborough Police since 2000, working in the firearms training unit, as a field training officer, and on the motorcycle unit.

Sgt. Silva has been a full-time officer with Tyngsborough Police since 2019, working with the Northeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council’s Regional Response Team, as the police department’s armorer, a member of the Honor Guard, and as a field training officer. 

“Both of these new sergeants are extremely well trained and professional, and I look forward to seeing both men show the leadership they are capable of in their new supervisory roles,” said Chief Howe. “Please join me in congratulating Sgt. Rubino and Sgt. Silva on two well-earned promotions.”
