Town mulls sheriff’s contract
VERSHIRE—Vershire residents may have an article on the town meeting warning next spring about whether to increase the police presence in town.
During a selectboard meeting on Oct. 26, Orange County Sheriff Bill Bohnyak and Capt. Scott Clouatre spoke about community policing services that could be provided under a contract.
Currently, the town of 672 does not have a dedicated police presence, although Vermont State Police routinely respond to calls for service and other complaints in the town. OCSD and other local departments may respond to calls when VSP is not available.
