The Charlton Select Board on April 8 approved internal promotions and several personnel changes in the police department and accepted resignations from town volunteers and employees.

Police Chief Dowd recommended promoting Sergeant Anthony Gribbins to lieutenant effective July 13, 2025, ahead of the retirement of the current lieutenant. The board moved and seconded the recommendation and approved the appointment by unanimous voice vote. Chief Dowd also recommended promoting Officer Jason White to sergeant effective July 13, 2025; the board approved that appointment unanimously.

The board appointed Steve Buffoni as a traffic constable with a term expiration date of June 30, 2025; that motion passed unanimously. The board accepted the resignations of local inspector Casey Broeingame (effective April 11, 2025), Council on Aging kitchen cook Sharon Bridal (effective April 10, 2025), and Arts & Activities/Cultural Council member Nairi Veres (due to relocation). Each resignation was accepted with thanks to the departing members.

The board noted transitional staffing plans: the police chief described a phased handover so the new lieutenant and sergeant can transition before retirements and that existing staff and volunteers will cover interim duties in some town positions. All appointment and resignation motions were approved by unanimous voice votes.
