Police chief reports officer recruitment, policy review and new cruiser arrival
Summary
Police Chief Flanders reported staff training and recruitment updates, an internal policy review timed to align with academy guidance, and arrival of a new cruiser awaiting outfitting.
Police Chief Flanders briefed the Board of Selectmen on personnel and policy matters, saying Officer Hart started the academy and Officer Merchant is slated to start on the 27th. The chief said he has begun an internal review of department policies with a goal to complete the review by the end of January and to compare the department’s policies with academy-provided templates in February.
Flanders reported the department took possession of a new cruiser and will begin outfitting it. He also said three officers are enrolled in a child-abuse-investigation class in Pittsfield (a buy-two-get-one-free arrangement), and that he has received no negative reports from the academy on the new recruit.
The chief invited questions from selectmen; none were raised at the meeting.
