Although he’s worked for a federal agency for nearly 20 years, the township’s next police chief believes his transition into his new role will be seamless. At an introductory event Friday, Todd Werth highlighted his strong ties to the Boardman community. He noted that he and his family have lived here for many years, and that his work for the FBI often has him working closely on cases with local law-enforcement officers. “I’ve lived in Boardman for 19 years,” said Werth. “This is where my kids go to school. This is where we live. This is where we’ll live through my retirement.”
