Chief says town will seek funding for a police dog and a $20,000 drone
Summary
Chief Bean told the committee he plans to seek funding for a K‑9 unit and a $20,000 drone; the committee clarified funding-source designations for firearms and radios and moved toward using the Police Equipment Capital Reserve Fund for planning these purchases.
During the Police Department review, Chief Chris Bean said the department plans to pursue funding for a police dog and for a drone costing about $20,000. The committee discussed funding-source designations and noted that firearms and radios, previously funded by Appropriation, could be planned using the Police Equipment Capital Reserve Fund to better manage future capital needs.
The committee did not take a formal vote on these specific items but directed staff to reflect the planning assumptions and funding-source clarifications in the CIP spreadsheet so costs and timing can be tracked for budget preparation.
