Police chief residency requirements

Question: With our position for police chief…is it true that whomever this person turns out to be, they will have to be within a certian driving distance to BOW? Who will enforce this and is this true?

BCC Answer: Yes this is true and it was in effect for Chief Jaran. The contract states that the Bow Police Chief needs to live within 30 minutes of Bow. Jaran lives in Gilford and it is very unlikely he could get here in 30 minutes legally. The person who would need to enforce this is the Town Manager, Jim Pitts but he did not.
