Groton to reach out for police help

GROTON—Selectboard members said last week that they will solicit assistance from the Caledonia County Sheriff’s Department to provide some patrolling services in town in response to complaints about speeding in the village.
At the town meeting in March, voters rejected a $30,543 contract with the Caledonia County Sheriff’s patrolling services when they voted down the budget. Many residents said they wanted a civilian constable who performed law enforcement activities.
