BETHANY BEACH, Del. — After its former chief was embroiled in scandal, the Town of Bethany Beach has appointed a new police chief.
Bethany Beach Town Council announced that it unanimously appointed Sergeant Patrick Foley as the new police chief during a meeting Monday afternoon.
Sergeant Foley has been serving as the acting officer in charge since January and has been a member of the Bethany Beach Police Department since 2006.
