With a budget that can’t support even the minimum staffing level, the city’s interim chief, a veteran detective, is now tasked with keeping the department afloat while they scramble to hire a permanent leader. Meanwhile, Northfield, once barely staffed, is now fully rebuilding its force thanks to the same officers’ departure—and the town manager’s savvy move to capitalize on the opportunity. Montpelier’s future response times are now in question, and 24-hour coverage may be off the table.
