Randolph selectmen renew State Police MOU, seek clarification on patrol increments
Summary
On Dec. 8 the Randolph selectmen voted unanimously to renew a December 2024 MOU with State Police Troop F for one year; the board asked whether the four-hour patrol authorization could be scheduled in two-hour increments and assigned Paul Jadis to contact Troop F for clarification.
The Town of Randolph Board of Selectmen voted at its Dec. 8 meeting to renew a memorandum of understanding with State Police Troop F that authorizes trooper patrols on request.
The MOU, originally signed in December 2024, specifies four‑hour patrols when troopers are requested. Selectman Paul A. Jadis asked whether the patrols could be scheduled as two‑hour increments because the MOU language does not define increments; Jadis said he would contact Troop F’s Colonel Mark Hall to clarify. Linda Dupont noted the existing MOU expires Dec. 31, 2025.
Michele Cormier moved to renew the MOU for another year; Paul A. Jadis seconded and the board unanimously agreed. The minutes record the motion and the unanimous approval but do not record a formal written amendment to change patrol-increment language; Paul Jadis was assigned to pursue clarification and the mechanics of renewal.
Why it matters: the MOU governs how and when State Police patrols can be requested in Randolph and therefore affects local public‑safety coverage and scheduling. The board’s request for clarification reflects operational questions about how patrol time is billed or scheduled under the agreement.
What’s next: Paul A. Jadis will contact Troop F to ask whether two‑hour patrol increments are permissible under the MOU and will report back to the board as part of the renewal process.
