Phil McLaughlin, left, is promoted from lieutenant to captain of the Meredith Police Department, and honored at the selectboard meeting on Oct. 26. McLaughlin's promotion comes on the heels of Chief Michael Harper's taking the role of interim town manager, and Harper said he'll be assuming some of his day-to-day duties. McLaughlin has climbed the ranks in the department, from patrol to captain, and is also the town's deputy emergency management director. Also pictured from left are McLaughlin's 12-year-old son Oliver, wife Naella, and 7-year-old daughter Isabelle. (Bob Martin/The Laconia Daily Sun photo)
