POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT – Chief J. Tavernier
The Chief reported the following:
§ New part-time officer Mike Hosingloy has completed training at the academy and is beginning FTO shifts in Lisbon.
§ The grant paperwork for the radar speed trailer is completed and will be sent in to the Department of Safety
§ Officer Garvin is starting a supervisor course.
§ Office Pinson is starting a breathalyzer course.
Chief Tavernier requested that he and officer McKinley be authorized to take a “Police in the Community” course at NHCTC this summer. They will use the vouchers traded for the old fire truck. Permission granted.
RR inquired as to how the rotation for overtime duty is coordinated. JT commented that sergeant McKinley is in charge of scheduling and that part-time officers are frequently unavailable during daytime shifts due to other work commitments. Thus, covering for vacation days, training, or illness for the chief or sergeant usually requires use of another full-time officer.
JT left the meeting at 8:30pm
