LENOX â The townâs Police Department could be in a position to add a 10th full-time officer in the coming year â the first expansion in over 25 years.
The Finance Committee voiced support recently for a proposed 10 percent increase in the departmentâs budget for fiscal 2022. The additional $122,000 would help pay for another officer, in part to help handle an upsurge in criminal activity within the north end commercial district, where a few low-cost motels are located on the east side of Pittsfield Road (Route 7/20).
The new officer would free up more time for Officer Tyler Bosworth, the departmentâs investigator, to handle cumbersome cases, said Police Chief Stephen OâBrien.
