On August 2, 2023, Bristol Rotary was extremely proud to have had Chief Kevin Lynch become a member of Bristol Rotary.
Chief Lynch has led a distinguished 35-year career in law enforcement and public service across police departments and state agencies in Rhode Island. Chief Lynch has served as Chief of the Bristol Police Department since 2019, and previously served as Commander of the Cranston Police Department and Deputy Administrator of the Public Utilities Commission for the State of Rhode Island. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Roger Williams University’s Criminal Justice program, which is ranked among the top 10 percent criminal justice programs in the country, and teaches in the Criminal Justice program and Policing, Public Safety and Security program at RWU’s University College.
Paul LaFleur, Bristol Rotary President, said, “Chief Lynch is no stranger to community service which is the primary function of Bristol Rotary and Rotary Clubs around the world. We welcome his advice, counsel and participation.”
