Lancaster Police Lt. Rian Matthews said two candidates completed polygraphs and backgrounds and are expected to enter the academy in May; he also reported a recent call that led to finding 30 grams of fentanyl and said drug activity persists locally.
Police Lt. Rian Matthews gave the Select Board a department update on staffing and recent incidents.
Matthews said two applicants completed polygraph and background checks successfully and the department hopes to get the new hires into the police academy in May. He reported Officer Komisarek has taken on prosecution responsibilities and that the department is working to cover a vacancy with on-call staffing to preserve 24‑hour coverage.
On recent operations, Matthews said officers responded to a call that led to a seizure in which a girl was found with 30 grams of fentanyl; he said there remains “quite a bit of drug activity” in the area. The board did not take additional action during the meeting.
