Seabrook Governs Lie Detector Tests For New Police Recruits
Seabrook selectmen require applicants for the police force to undergo lie detector testing and sign a two year contract if hired to provide more background information. Two officers hired last year face charges in Concord District Court after presenting documents claiming Massachusetts certification. The state shows no record of their attendance at any Massachusetts training school and the dates do not match those schools. Patrolmen James Cipoletta and John Guell may not be reinstated until after their trial. The town will hold new exams for recruits to fill one vacant slot caused by a death. Town Counsel Gary Holmes drafted the two year contract due to high costs of state training, including wages during the six week term. Graduates of the school become certified policemen.
