Police chief reports candidates in background checks; school superintendent thanks officers after threats
Summary
Chief Eric Proulx told trustees the department has "a few prospects" undergoing background checks; TLCSD Superintendent Jaycee Welsh thanked officers for increased presence that reassured parents amid recent school threats.
Trustees accepted the August 2024 Police Report and discussed staffing prospects with Police Chief Eric Proulx.
When Trustee Leon LeBlanc asked about future officer candidates, Proulx said "he has a few prospects that they are completing background checks for." The chief said the department will notify the board once those checks are finished. Later in the meeting, TLCSD Superintendent Jaycee Welsh thanked the Tupper Lake Police Department for their increased presence in recent days, saying the presence "was very helpful to have them there to put parents at ease with recent local school district threats."
The minutes do not record any personnel appointments; the board accepted the police report and will consider updates when background checks conclude.
