Police chief reports compliance on FBI audit and ongoing enforcement activity
Summary
Fair Haven’s police chief told the board the department passed a recent FBI audit of criminal-history/NCI records and described training and enforcement activity, including traffic enforcement and a seat-belt/cell-phone campaign.
Police Chief (speaker 8) reported to the selectboard that the department recently underwent an FBI audit of its NCI criminal-history reporting and was found to be compliant, with no issues identified. The chief said the department completed records reviews tied to 2025 training requirements and described a new reporting system named Arcadius that staff will use to submit training records directly to the state academy.
The chief also summarized operational activity, saying the department handled 236 calls for service in a recent two-week period and listed enforcement actions including traffic enforcement and a cell-phone/seat-belt campaign run in partnership with the sheriff’s department. When a board member asked whether the FBI audit was routine, the chief explained the agency selects one large, one medium and one small agency on a rotating basis, and this was the first such audit in the chief’s 20-year tenure. The chief said, “We were found to be in compliant. We found no issues,” (Police chief, speaker 8).
What happens next: the chief and staff will continue training uploads into the academy system and update the board on service and enforcement metrics at future meetings.
