The police chief reported six traffic accidents in September (four minor), enforcement numbers, five theft arrests and a drug test that returned positive for fentanyl; he also noted officers completed training and the department now has a licensed drone operator and has applied for an AED grant.

Police Chief Kelley outlined a proposed 287(g) Field Task Force at the June 22 Selectboard meeting, describing training, operational limits and potential reimbursements; several residents and a Selectman-turned-public commenter raised concerns about racial profiling, liability and reduced training time. The chief will seek legal guidance and publish materials for public review.
