The department installed 13 Flock readers at the town’s entry and exit points in 2024, adding to 7 existing cameras, paid from its operating budget rather than a town vote, per the Town Crier. A resident letter in June 2026 raised concerns, and the Select Board opened a formal review with a Flock representative due at an upcoming meeting. The department publishes its reader policy. The agency’s transparency portal reported 21 cameras and 30-day retention as of July 27, 2026.
