Mayor Mark Lauretti said Hurliman's last day will be Friday and that he will be replaced, at least temporarily, by Police Capt. Shawn Sequeira, a retired state police detective, said the Connecticut Post.com.

Hurliman had been working on one-year contracts for the past two years, the report said. He began his career as a supernumerary and was appointed a full-time officer in 1980, rising through the ranks until becoming chief in 2006, reported the Connecticut Post.com.

Sequeira retired from the state police as a detective with the Major Case Squad to become a Shelton police captain earlier this year, the Post said.
