According to the town’s staff report, $259,6000 was written into the FY23 budget for four new hybrid patrol vehicles. The remaining budget amount will be used to pay for parts and labor for each car to ready them for police service.
Additionally, the police department opted to not trade in any older vehicles because they are currently fully staffed. The older cars will be used by the new Police Department staff members.
