Wilton Police Promote Detective Matthew Cisewski To Sergeant

WILTON, CT — The Wilton Police Department has promoted Detective Matthew Cisewski to the rank of sergeant, officials announced.

The promotion ceremony was attended by Cisewski’s family and friends, along with First Selectwoman Toni Boucher, police commissioners Chris Giovino and Thomas Sinchak, and Town Administrator Matt Knickerbocker, according to the department.

During the ceremony, Commissioner Giovino addressed Cisewski and spoke about the responsibilities associated with the supervisory role, including serving as a guide and role model for officers under his command.

Police Chief Thomas Conlan also recognized the sacrifices made by law enforcement families, thanking Cisewski’s mother, Sheila, and his girlfriend, Jessica. Conlan noted that police work often requires time away from loved ones and presents personal challenges beyond the job itself.

Conlan highlighted Cisewski’s professional background, which includes a degree in criminal justice from Western Connecticut State University and graduating second in his class at the police academy.

Before joining the Wilton Police Department, Cisewski worked as an emergency services dispatcher for the towns of Ridgefield and New Fairfield. He is currently serving in an acting detective role and is a member of the Southwest Regional Emergency Response Team.

Throughout his career, Cisewski has received several honors, including a life-saving award and multiple letters of commendation. Conlan said the department has also received numerous letters from residents and motorists thanking Cisewski for his assistance and professionalism.

Town Clerk Lori Kaback administered the oath of office, and Cisewski’s girlfriend pinned his new badge during the ceremony.

The Wilton Police Department congratulated Cisewski on his promotion and wished him success in his new position, the release said.
