Chief Matthew Pinard is pleased to report that the Littleton Police Department promoted two members of the department on Wednesday, Nov. 1.
Lt. Douglas Landry is the department’s first lieutenant in approximately 15 years, since former Chief Matthew King served in the position before becoming a deputy chief. Edmond Bussiere was promoted to sergeant.
Lt. Landry was appointed to the department in May of 2013, and previously worked with the Nantucket Police Department. He has served as a sergeant since December of 2014.
Since his promotion in 2014, Landry has worked the 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. shifts, and served as the department’s firearms instructor and armorer, and as a use of force and defensive tactics instructor. Landry also serves a member of the Northeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council SWAT Team.
Sgt. Bussiere has served with Littleton Police since September of 2006, and previously worked with the Pepperell Police Department.
Sgt. Bussiere has served as the department’s Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement instructor, Breathalyzer Instructor, and as a Drug Recognition Expert. Sgt. Bussiere also assisted the department throughout the process of being accredited by the Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission.
“The knowledge and experience of both of these men has benefitted every member of our department, and I am pleased to see both earn promotions this week,” said Chief Pinard.
