I know most town Chiefs don't want their officers to even write towns people. If a Sheriff ( another state agency ) started patrolling the mayor/selectmen would lose control. Hell most selectmen are even sworn in as police officers out here and have never worked a day on the road. WELCOME TO SMALL TOWN POLICING. |

They in many cases are the police for small towns. The MSP would not be intimidated when stopping a selectmen or any other person in the small town political game. Now, selectmen in many cases are sworn in as police. No training but they have the id when they get stopped. Many even have their little MPA stickers. I know a selectmen in greenfield that has a wallet badge. It reads "greenfield police commissioner". When out of the area I'm sure that id would work well when stopped. What I was getting at is nobody has to worry about the sheriffs office contracting to provide police services for a small town. The select-board can control their local police but would lose that control should they contract out. Pick up your local paper, every few months some select-board is trying to run out the local chief and appoint some puppet they can easily control. |

BEcause the SDs have alot of resources such as command centers and other items they will be utilized alot. Seems like Regionalising is still going forward very strong. Like I said before, SPAM should chose its enemies wisely and not just piss on and attack these local departments's Chiefs. |
