Police chief reports speed signs, K-9 vehicle out of commission and hiring delays
Summary
Police Chief Eric Proulx told trustees speed signs for Washington Street are in and will be installed in spring 2025, the K-9 vehicle is out of commission, and Civil Service test results are on hold, delaying potential hires until late March or early April.
Chief Eric Proulx presented the November police report, which the board accepted, and provided operational updates: speed signs for Washington Street have been received and are scheduled for installation in spring 2025; the K-9 vehicle is currently out of commission; and a candidate is in processing but broader hiring is delayed because Civil Service test results from September are on hold, making the earliest realistic new hire timeline the end of March to early April.
The chief said the department expects to hire provisionally if processing allows, but did not provide a guaranteed timeline; trustees did not take further action beyond accepting the report.
