Select Board votes to join Windham County regional sheriff pilot
Summary
The Select Board voted June 22 to join the Windham County Regional Enforcement Governance Council pilot program for regional sheriff services; the chair said participation should not increase the town's current policing cost and would require designating a town representative to the council.
The Jamaica Select Board voted to join a state-authorized pilot that would regionalize sheriff services in Windham County. Chair explained the pilot aims to provide a more stable governance and funding structure for sheriff services and said the town’s existing policing contract would remain in effect while Jamaica participates in the governance council.
"It's not gonna cost us any more than our current contract," the chair said in response to board questions about cost. Board members asked for additional details on staffing and how the regional contract would evolve; the board directed the town administrator or a designee to participate in council meetings and return with further implementation details.
