Town Meeting Article 8 Passes

Last night at the Town meeting, warrant article 8 passed. This article was authored by Chief O'Leary and regarded fingerprinting as part of the application process for several Town licenses. The passing allows the Police Department to conduct instate as well as out of state background checks based on fingerprints. The department feels this piece of legislation will allow it to further enhance it's mission of providing public safety in a more proactive manner.
