From the meeting
Police discussion on October 12, 2026 said the town has no one in the hiring pipeline and may need another recruiting effort. Russell Poitras also raised changing the chief from elected to appointed and suggested an outside agency could run the hiring process. This is not a contract award, but it is a leadership trigger that could affect police staffing, recruitment support, and future management structure.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
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.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of Grafton's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
