Police Department Staffing Study | South Hadley, MA – Official Website

On April 3, 2024 the town contracted with Municipal Resources Inc, (MRI) of Plymouth NH to conduct a staffing study of the Police Department.  MRI will conduct a multi-year look-back at various aspects of the organization , including calls for service, staffing levels, budget and project data into a reasonable future view to assist with identifying what the town should anticipate for staffing now and in the future. 

The Town Administrator solicited letters of interest to serve on the Police Staffing Study Advisory Committee from May 2024 to May 2025. The committee will provide input into the process and draft of the study. There will be a minimum 3-5 meetings over the course of the term, and depend on committee member availability and the need. There will be a public forum held prior to January 2025, the date that MRI will be finalizing a report. There will also be committee input into the Fiscal Year 2026 budget process in early 2025. 

The committee members will work with the Town Administrator, Police Chief and the consultant for the Police Staffing Study.
