Towns team up for police protection
The small, southern New Hampshire towns of Greenville and Temple broke barriers when they forged a new jointly run police department three years ago.
The concept has been such a hit in terms of efficiency, savings, and retaining high-quality officers that the towns recently renewed their agreement for five years and caught the eye of other communities exploring regional police services, local officials said.
As our fire and police departments grow beyond the confines of the safety complex and the EPA presses for a salt storage facility, our politicians should look at alternatives to the massive bonds that await Danville taxpayers. Why can’t we have a Timberlane Regional Salt Storage facility? Combine safety teams to reduce administration and infrastructure while increasing coverage and protection?
It’s time for Danville’s government to innovate like a small New Hampshire town instead of expanding like an inefficient Massachusetts municipality.
