An Act authorizing the appointment of special police officers in the town of Charlton

This bill authorizes the town of Charlton to appoint special police officers who have prior law enforcement experience to assist with various police duties. Under the new rules, the chief of police can hire these individuals without being bound by the standard maximum age limits for regular officers, though they must retire at age 70. Candidates must pass a medical exam at their own expense and adhere to the same training, certification, and work-hour restrictions as other police officers.
