An Act relative to employment within the Oxford police department

This bill amends the town charter of Oxford to restructure how the police department is managed and staffed. It removes the Chief of Police and sworn officers from the list of positions that the town's selectmen can appoint, remove, or set salaries for, effectively shifting these powers away from the local board. The legislation also exempts the town from specific state laws that currently govern police department oversight, establishing a new section to define the chief of police's authority independently of the selectmen. Ultimately, the act changes the governance structure of the Oxford police department by limiting the direct control the town board has over hiring, firing, and compensation for police leadership and sworn members.
