An Act granting appointing authority of the Oxford police department to the town manager in Oxford

This bill transfers the authority to hire and fire the Oxford Police Department from the town's Board of Selectmen to the town manager. By amending the town's charter, the legislation removes the board's power to appoint the police chief and other officers, instead designating the town manager as the appointing authority who acts on the recommendation of the police chief. Additionally, the act exempts Oxford from state laws that typically require local boards to set police compensation and approve department regulations, centralizing these administrative decisions under the town manager's supervision.
