In August 2021 Governor Scott issued Executive Order 03-20 outlining several measures relative to use of force, body worn cameras, improper conduct investigations, hiring practices, universal reporting, data, training, and community oversight. A subsequent law took effect October 1, 2021 whereas a statewide use of force policy was required to be adopted by all Vermont agencies. BCPD has adopted this policy. We have updated our Conduct and Responsibility policies to include a robust policy for Rules of Conduct, Professional Ethics, Internal Affairs/Complaints and Discipline, and a progressive Disciplinary Matrix. BCPD's policy manual can be found HERE.
