Staff Report
(Gill, MA) Acknowledging that his town’s police department is small like others in the region, Randy Crochier, a selectboard member in Gill, has reached out to Franklin County Sheriff Chris Donelan to start a discussion about regionalizing police services. Gill only has two full-time officers, and the availability of part-time police officers is shrinking. The topic of regionalizing police has come up before in the towns of Bernardston and Leyden. After drafting an agreement, Wendell and Leverett are currently sharing the same police force.
