\"We're not going to be running the shuttle this year,\" Fairman said, describing the decision as based on ridership, business feedback and observed traffic patterns during previous summers. She said the narrated tour trolley \"Molly\" will continue operating and that no trolley employees will lose positions as a result of the change.

Why it matters: downtown traffic and parking affect business access and public safety in peak summer months. Fairman's observations pointed to parking enforcement and creating more municipal parking as more effective levers to open spaces for customers than a shuttle service that residents did not widely use.

Fairman told the commission that while the company experimented with a downtown shuttle to keep cars out of the center and ease circling traffic, riders did not adopt the service as hoped. She said a partnership with the Mount Washington Cruise Company to offer combined tickets worked well, and the trolley operator will extend \"Molly's\" hours with two driver shifts to serve that demand.

She reported that during one year of stricter enforcement of parking time limits and illegal parking, employees found alternative parking and downtown spaces opened up — an effect she said the shuttle itself had not produced. Fairman also said Jolley the Trolley will be sold and that she plans to run only the narrated tours going forward, while still providing a free shuttle downtown for the July 4 parade.

The commission acknowledged the operator's report and accepted copies of a letter Fairman said she would circulate to selectmen and staff. Commissioners and selectmen discussed enforcement and municipal parking capacity as the likely levers to address recurring summer congestion.","Kathy Fairman of the Wolfeboro Trolley Company told the commission she will not run the downtown shuttle this year after finding the service did not reduce congestion; she recommended more parking enforcement and municipal parking to relieve downtown pressure.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":55,"_73":55},6278569,"Wolfeboro Police report February case drop, staff and camera plans; cruisers and default budget noted",441,264000,705000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2640772-c0fad916c97e434cba9110a36b22e592&start=264&end=705","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2640772-c0fad916c97e434cba9110a36b22e592/thumbnail_264000.jpg","/articles/6278569/New-Hampshire/Wolfeboro-Police-report-February-case-drop-staff-and-camera-plans-cruisers-and-default-budget-noted","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6278569-6876217cefd89caf7e1f8f51263a80e9/orig.mp4?Expires=1776609660&Signature=kfGIOMBnaGC-DUL2BcewEygJ6--M5OXGxXqlUwuhGHT4W9ArT3fUF3vRoCvnfYQfFw1OmFlqTVlOaVJTZZAS-1fv0-imU5LoAoiSaEkhbcKU0tVBQkhXnHoNX9qxd2hdY3~F~9nMwcBH1corxBOgbrwUpYQjL9~7oGXmMgE3Q0EKO9D5qyDGCRSgCD072OUvdHypIvmP0wJ81jhnmNzeh6AzDKNdXyHgZXR9-BcsXKoX4CfHg8m0vlkQGB1f3EEIxyfZPy3LGhGthqljiIajpzuCoGPGKA0lpu7OeflCWz1zi9LHQUurH9t2IEOh5FRzKDckYoG6rxy2quDmszqWpg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wolfeboro Police Department reported 50 incidents in February 2025, described year-to-date activity increases compared with last year, introduced two new officers and outlined next steps for implementing body-worn cameras.

Captain Sherry presented the monthly activity summary, saying, \"February we had 50 cases, down 4 from January,\" and that February included 53 offenses within those incidents. She reported traffic stops fell to 61 from 106 in January and collisions were down to 10 for the month. Year-to-date incidents stood at 105, compared with 65 at the same point last year; arrests were roughly similar, she said.

Why it matters: the operational data and staffing updates shape short-term patrol capacity and resource planning; the commission was also told the failed cruiser funding and a default town budget will constrain vehicle replacement and other capital spending.

Chief Warren briefed the commission on the election fallout and equipment planning, telling members the cruiser measure \"did not pass\" and that the department will \"do what we can for the cars to keep them in service as long as it doesn't become a money pit and is not causing a safety concern to our officers or the public.\" He added that vehicles showing safety issues would be taken out of service.

On body-worn cameras, Chief Warren outlined the department's implementation plan: a written policy will be structured to meet the accreditation bureau and the State of New Hampshire sample policy, with assistance from already-accredited agencies. \"After that policy is done, we will have the body cameras ordered in placed, as we receive them. Once all officers are trained in how to use them and what the policy is, we will then put them into use,\" he said. Warren told the commission the department will report progress at every meeting until the commission is satisfied.

The commission also heard two hires introduced by the chief: Aaron Weed, a graduate of Plymouth State University's criminal justice program (identified by the chief as an honors graduate), and Mark Greco, a U.S. Army veteran who served two tours in Afghanistan. The chief invited commissioners and the public to a swearing-in scheduled the following morning at 9 a.m.

Budget implications were flagged: Chief Warren said the town is in a default budget for the second straight year and that he and department leaders were \"deep in the weeds\" working to determine impacts on service levels; he said he did not believe the department was in danger of a loss of service but that adjustments would be \"a little tricky for a while.\"","The Wolfeboro Police Department presented monthly incident and traffic statistics, introduced two new officers and outlined next steps for body-worn camera policy and deployment; the department also warned default budget and failed cruiser funding will affect vehicle maintenance plans.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":55,"_73":55},6278573,"Wolfeboro voters approve body cameras and raises but reject cruisers; town enters default budget again",979,1340000,2319000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2640772-c0fad916c97e434cba9110a36b22e592&start=1340&end=2319","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2640772-c0fad916c97e434cba9110a36b22e592/thumbnail_1340000.jpg","/articles/6278573/New-Hampshire/Wolfeboro-voters-approve-body-cameras-and-raises-but-reject-cruisers-town-enters-default-budget-again","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6278573-4b4ca10285e7ba37a6055cc6b6b612ef/orig.mp4?Expires=1776609660&Signature=WadDc7W0FJd2xS7QLRuBNq9PpFuUTRB19MjZM4-Cj5Z7HYom~4SAIVtsgaenhqe6QUobGknstwfHY-QzZBLa-Sgq782KyFrwlBs~rIw6GvOsfNFz4T8HoXA9LTlPk8pWTNIoOxuKC~kqD1o1ifCIxmRhyPe~hJWTMXhOwBT7BaOFohzbWsNBoFFZXxQQ9Whhf3gqBLkJUoU76Zf4vOkxhuUuwNbLgOHzbyQnSwHSYe165B1IIEwBeqoBBbqXCWKaC6TNQ3etwt8-T5zyT8IqkRm6CFErFvl7jlbg-D7NjLHlFBFRKGQOBfMfoCxZHJpITuPmITsXE~ozmCvueymrHg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Wolfeboro voters approved a union contract and a body-worn camera purchase but rejected funding for new police cruisers, and the town is operating under a default budget for the second straight year, commission members heard.

Selectman Paul O'Brien summarized the election returns to the Wolfeboro Police Commission, saying 1,666 residents roughly voted and that \"66 percent of the people who cast their vote voted for\" Kevin J. Duffy in the police commission race. O'Brien said voters approved several measures affecting public safety and municipal operations, while declining the cruiser purchase and placing the town into a default budget.

Why it matters: the outcomes will affect police equipment and staffing decisions and constrain departmental spending for the coming year as town officials determine what a default budget means for services.

O'Brien gave results and voter percentages as context for the commission. He reported that Article 19, the union contract, passed; Article 20, the cruisers, did not pass; and Article 21, body-worn cameras, did pass. O'Brien also said 65% of voters supported a proposed 5% per-year police pay increase over three years and that 61% supported a similar package for AFSCME-represented employees. He told the commission that 55% of voters indicated they did not support cruisers this year and that the town is now in a default budget for the second year in a row.

The commission also heard figures O'Brien said show broad voter support for infrastructure and public-safety spending in other items: he said 78% backed fixing pressure relief valves on Main Street and 67% supported finishing the public safety building. O'Brien said a petition to abolish the police commission received 729 votes in favor and 854 opposed — a roughly 54/46 split.

The report to the commission was framed as commentary and analysis rather than a formal motion. Commission members did not take additional formal votes on the election returns during the meeting; they discussed operational implications for cruisers, cameras and department staffing in follow-up remarks.

Commissioners and staff said they will review how the default budget affects planned purchases and operations and will report back at future meetings with implementation details and any recommended adjustments.","Town voting reported to the Wolfeboro Police Commission showed approval of a union contract and body-worn cameras, voter support for multi-year raises, rejection of cruiser funding and a second consecutive default budget, according to selectmen and commission discussion.","actionData","errors"]
