Dalton Public Safety Advisory Committee Down to 3

DALTON, Mass. — The Public Safety Advisory Committee is down to three members.

The five-member committee was established last June to examine all the options for a new police station or combined public safety facility, with the goal to have a recommendation to the Select Board by this December.

The committee was established after Police Chief Deanna Strout demonstrated to the board the dire condition of the facility that is unable to meet state requirements. The condition of the facility has been worsening as the town explores its options.

During a recent Select Board meeting, the deadline was pushed to April, following recent confusion on next steps.

Craig Wilbur, former co-chair, put in his letter of resignation from the committee effective Dec. 31 and Anthony "Tony" Pagliarulo stepped down after being elected to the Select Board.

During the last meeting, Wilbur stepped down from his role as co-chair following a heated discussion on next steps.

"As you know, during last evening's meeting the committee voted to extend its charge for an additional four months. While I fully respect and support the important work that lies ahead, I regret that due to other professional and personal commitments, I am unable to continue serving during this extended period," Wilbur said in his letter.
