DiBacco Sworn in as Rehoboth Police Chief

Rehoboth has a new Police Chief: Louis DiBacco.

DiBacco was sworn in by Town Clerk Laura Schwall at Monday’s Selectmen meeting.

DiBacco has served in the position on an interim basis since January 2024, following the retirement of former Police Chief James Trombetta.

Trombetta said DiBacco “has done an outstanding job for us for the last 14 years.”

Selectman Lenny Mills explained it had been a lengthy process to get DiBacco to the point where he was ready to become Chief on a permanent basis, adding the board was “very proud” of DiBacco.

DiBacco has been with the Rehoboth Police Department since 2012, when he was hired as a part-time reserve officer. He later held the rank of Sergeant.

DiBacco’s tenure officially began at 12:01 am on July 1.
