Next public safety hearing scheduled
PUTNEY — PUTNEY - Members of the Selectboard and Town Manager Cynthia Stoddard invite the public to attend and participate in the next public discussion on community policing on Nov. 10 at 6:30 p.m. at the Putney Fire Station.
This discussion is part of a series of hearings on the future of Putney's law enforcement.
Earlier this year, the Windham County Sheriff's Department notified town officials they could no longer serve the town in the same capacity and decreased their patrol hours. After the announcement, Putney resident and Brattleboro Police Department Detective Lieutenant Jeremy Evans submitted a proposal for establishing a municipal police force to the town's Public Safety Committee.
Stoddard said the Nov. 10 hearing will include an update on the committee's work and changes in law enforcement options since the last meeting.
