Tolland selectmen plan Police Chief recruitment and schedule July 27 public hearing. The Board of Selectmen, comprised of Steve DellaGiustina, Edwin Deming, and Patrick Barrett, will advertise for a Police Chief position and hold a public hearing on July 27 to discuss four police service options: relying solely on state police coverage, hiring a new Police Chief, maintaining no local police presence, or contracting with Granville Police Department.
