“Before employment, all members attend a seminar on these issues, and for any concern experienced, we have an open-door policy. If the individual does not feel comfortable reporting a matter to the captain of the patrol, they can go to municipal personnel or me. Any allegation requires by our municipal ordinance a complete investigation of all allegations and issues,” explained Palombo.
