Monadnock Ledger-Transcript - Wilton's proposed police pay increase too expensive, Select Board says

Published: 6/30/2021 3:31:35 PM
The Wilton Select Board is seeking a compromise with Police Chief Eric Oleson after the board found the department’s proposed police pay scale increase exceeded the $30,000 approved by voters at Town Meeting.
Olesen appeared before the Select Board during their work session this week to discuss police retention and salary increases for the department. In June, Olesen stood before Town Meeting to request a $30,000 increase to the Police Department budget, for the purpose of retention and recruitment. Olesen told the crowd that competition for police officers was high, and Wilton was struggling to keep its roster full. Voters approved the increase resoundingly.
