Summary
Montpelier’s police force is in crisis mode as four key leaders depart for Northfield, leaving just eleven officers to handle duties for a city that needs twenty-four. With interim Chief Jeff Pearson stepping in, residents are assured calls will still be answered—but expect prioritization during summer’s peak activity. Pearson’s mission: keep the team intact, solve the staffing shortage, and preserve the department’s strong community bonds. City officials, including Manager Kelly McNicholas Kury, acknowledge the tough reality, praising the department’s resilience while admitting some service changes are unavoidable. A recruitment firm is now on board to find a permanent chief, as Montpelier races to stabilize operations during this pivotal transition.
