From the meeting
The House bill authorized the town of Petersham to continue the employment of police department members Richard D. Cooley Jr. and David A.
Shoemaker. The Senate amended the bill to require compliance with Massachusetts Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission certification and in-service training rules while they continue serving under the act. This is a personnel-based buying trigger for police training, compliance, and staffing support tied to an already moving local authorization.
