THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Sheriff briefed the Selectboard on a Regional Policing Pilot Program that towns can opt into or out of at the start of each fiscal year. Non-member towns will pay a higher hourly rate, while members will be charged per capita at an estimated $33, which Dummerston calculated as about $61,000 annually. The town has not yet decided whether to join, and the Board plans further discussion on 7/22. Public safety service providers and grant/consulting firms can help the town evaluate costs, coverage levels, and alternative policing models before a commitment is made.
Program requires at least five towns; seven have already opted in, increasing pressure on holdouts.

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