From the meeting
At the September 8, 2026 meeting packet, the town said applications for the permanent Chief of Police had been submitted in good numbers and were in preliminary review. Fonte Nailer was serving as Interim Police Chief while the hiring process continued. This is a buying trigger for police leadership, policy direction, and any related staffing or training support.
The next decision point is the final selection of a permanent chief.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
