The Future of Royalston Policing

Update:

If you missed the public informational meeting held on April 11, 2024, click here to view the PowerPoint presentation.

The future of Policing in the town of Royalston. At this meeting there will be presentations on how Policing has occurred in town for many years. Also, there will be an explanation of how state changes in the requirements for police training have caused many small towns in the state to change the way Policing is conducted. This will be an opportunity for residents to give input on what they value about the current policing model in Royalston and what they wish to see continue, or change, in the future.

There will also be a preliminary projection of what the new options will cost the residents in coming years. We will present past actual costs, projected (preliminary) costs of a full-time police force in Royalston, and projected(preliminary) costs of using an Intermunicipal Agreement Force with a neighboring town’s Police Force.

Please join the conversation on April 11. The new state regulations mean that changes to policing in small towns are inevitable. Your voice is very important as we navigate how these changes will affect policing in Royalston.
