PLAINFIELD Voters at Saturday’s Annual Town Meeting approved a pay increase that will allow the police chief to become a full-time position.
Fire Chief David Alvord said there was “a lot of discussions pro and con” on the matter. But in the end, voters agreed on $107,892 for police pay, the amount requested in the budget.
The money will serve to pay both the chief and other officers.
Saturday afternoon’s Town Meeting was outdoors amid wind and cold, and Alvord said it drew more than 100 people. “We pulled it off,” he said.
