Longer-form draft.
At the March 26 Board of Selectmen meeting, the conversation surrounding New London’s emergency dispatch services reached a boiling point. As the Board reviews a Request for Proposals (RFP) for an independent study, residents made it clear: the decision to keep dispatch local or outsource it carries massive financial and safety implications. Public speakers emphasized that the 'overwhelming driving need' is cost. There is significant community concern that a consultant might be hired to deliver a predetermined recommendation rather than objective data. Residents are calling on the Board to use the study as a tool for analytics, not a way to bypass a difficult local decision. Additionally, the Board addressed ongoing questions regarding Fire Department leadership. While Brandon Adams has been appointed as interim Fire Chief for a 30-day period, the community continues to ask for more transparency regarding the permanent hiring process and why external candidates are not being considered. We will continue to monitor how the revised RFP is drafted and whether it provides the transparency and data the public deserves. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/new-london/select-board/2026-03-26/ #MeetingWatch #NewLondonNH
