Board supported prevention steps: youth centers, visible foot and bike patrols, and precinct meetings this summer. Enforcement and education efforts will run through the season. No new programs announced beyond existing coordination.
Residents can expect ongoing updates as patrols increase and meetings occur. Letter posted publicly the next day. Focus remains on accountability for the small group causing problems while keeping pressure on town agencies for visible action. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/danvers/select-board/2026-06-18/
At the June 18 Select Board meeting, leaders released an open letter on recent youth-related incidents in Danvers, including vandalism, unsafe e-bike use, and hate-based graffiti. Signed by the Town Manager, Police Chief, and Superintendent, the letter notes that most young people act responsibly but calls for stronger parental involvement, increased patrols, and public reporting of problems. Board members backed a multi-agency response that includes foot and bike patrols, engagement efforts, and planned precinct meetings. No new funding or major policy shifts were approved; work will continue through summer using current resources. Separately, the board denied a public way extension for the stalled project at 17 Elm Street after the applicant failed to appear and provided conflicting timelines. The contractor must return July 14 with a detailed work plan, bonding details, and sidewalk schedule. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/danvers/select-board/2026-06-18/ #MeetingWatch #DanversMA
