Main Street & Pleasant Street, Randolph, VT
Page 1: "This guide will help public officials and citizens decide whether to start their own police departments and—if they decide to go forward—to offer guidance on how to do it efficiently and effectively. The guide is relevant for rural, suburban, and urban communities of all sizes. It is not meant to be a manual for managing and operating all aspects of a police agency because the decisions and issues discussed require a great deal of additional consideration and work. But the guide can be a valuable tool to assist communities in thoughtfully considering the major issues involved in starting a police department."
From the article: "Towns have traditionally served as the basic unit of organized local government in Vermont since the first town (Bennington) was chartered in the future state in 1749. Given that town governments would not, or could not afford to, offer certain public services in densely populated areas, a new governmental unit—the incorporated village—was created in the early nineteenth century. The formation of incorporated villages continued throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, though by the 1930s village incorporations had become a rare event. By the mid-twentieth century the process of incorporating villages had ceased, but a new phase in the history of these villages was becoming more evi- dent: mergers with towns."
