Warrant Article 30 at the fall Town Meeting called for the Police Department to "post every police report online on the town website within 48 hours of the incident." Town Meeting voted to refer Warrant Article 30 to this moderator's committee. The committee shall conduct a study of the desirability and feasibility of posting Brookline police incident reports on the website. The committee shall investigate how other communities publicize their police reports and determine appropriate criteria for posting such reports online.
The Committee shall present a report of its findings to the 2017 Fall Special Town Meeting. Its recommendations may include a proposed amendment to the town by-laws or suggested action by the Board of Selectmen or the Police Department.
The committee's Report to Town Meeting was finalized on June 28, 2017. Download the report (PDF).
Agendas are available prior to the meetings. Minutes are available following approval.
