The Public Safety Advisory Committee is charged with the task of reviewing the Public Safety needs of Leyden in order to make recommendations to the Selectboard designed to ensure that Leyden has the most efficient and effectively run public safety services possible. These services include: police, fire, emergency medical, and emergency management. The Selectboard has to ensure that all public safety departments are fully staffed, trained, respected, functioning cooperatively, and that they operate in full compliance with all Massachusetts laws, regulations and procedures.
The Committee meets on the first and third Wednesdays of the month and will be pursuing options for the provision of services and identifying grant opportunities to assist with this planning effort.
If you would like to contact any member of the Committee or submit comments or for consideration please send an email to Publicsafety@townofleyden.com.
NOTE: the Public Safety Advisory Committee’s role is planning and advisory only. If you have an immediate public safety concern, please contact the appropriate department directly or dial 911 and request assistance.
