Hinsdale Police Chief Steps Down | Albany News

Hinsdale’s police chief, Shawn Boyne, is stepping down after a turbulent tenure marked by intense scrutiny following a deadly January shooting in which he was wounded and a 27-year-old man was killed. Though prosecutors cleared the officer who fired the fatal shot, Boyne was placed on administrative leave — a move that’s now being followed by his planned retirement. While he’s been temporarily replaced by Peru’s chief, Hinsdale’s department continues an independent review of its policies, with no official link drawn between Boyne’s exit and the investigation — but the timing suggests a reckoning for the town’s law enforcement future.
