Sep 28, 2026

Chair Ian Albinson said the Board is compiling state and local police and crash data and will geolocate calls to separate in-district from out-of-district responses; Town Administrator Gregory Faust will pursue direct access to Police Department data to support the timeline for a possible police vote.

The full story

Selectboard members discussed timing and data needs for a possible town-wide police vote. Jessica Teets asked when the Board should start research to meet warning deadlines; Chair Ian Albinson said he has collected state data and local crash records and is "working through police calls, with the next step being to geolocate calls as in-district or out-of-district, for which the Town needs data from the Police Department." Faust agreed the Town should secure direct access to that data rather than requiring the Police Department to handle ad-hoc requests.
