The voters of Wolfeboro should really be asking themselves why this position description can't be handled by the Chief. They should also be questioning their criteria for selection, because they have voted some seriously questionable people into this office. Giving citizens power over the police force, apparently goes directly to your head!

One more (if I may and then I will shut-up)
I agree with jmen24 and therefore it is time to put this on a the ballot at the next election:
TITLE VII
SHERIFFS, CONSTABLES, AND POLICE OFFICERS
CHAPTER 105-C
POLICE COMMISSIONS
Section 105-C:2
105-C:2 Referendum. – The following questions shall be submitted to the voters of a town on the regular ballot for the election of town officers if a petition is presented to the selectmen in accordance with RSA 39:3 requesting the same:
I. "Shall the government of the police department of the town of __________ be entrusted to a police commission?''
II. "If so, shall such police commissioners be chosen by:
(a) Popular election at town election; or
(b) Appointment of the governor with consent of the council?''
