Select Board approves hiring of part‑time patrol officer with crisis‑intervention and military background
Summary
The Newton Select Board voted to hire Greg Senelli as a part‑time patrol officer after Chief Deflumery summarized Senelli’s background and a completed screening; the motion passed by voice vote. The personnel action included a pay figure noted in the meeting record whose numeric format is unclear.
The Newton Select Board unanimously approved hiring Greg Senelli as a part‑time patrol officer during its Aug. 5 meeting. Chief Deflumery said Senelli had undergone a ‘‘thorough background investigation’’ including a physical test, polygraph, psychological and medical exams.
Chief Deflumery described Senelli as a 30‑year full‑time firefighter who served as a Navy corpsman from 1988 to 2012 with multiple deployments and has worked in crisis‑intervention counseling. ‘‘I think he’ll be a great addition to our department,’’ the chief said.
A board member moved to hire Senelli ‘‘as a part‑time patrol officer’’ and noted an hourly rate recorded in the meeting transcript as "2874"; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The meeting record does not specify currency, a decimal point or other formatting for that figure.
No further conditions or an effective start date were recorded in the public portion of the meeting. The Board welcomed Senelli following the vote and proceeded to other agenda items.
