BPD to Hold Recurring Dates for Press
Starting February 24, 2025, the Brattleboro Police Department will have a regularly scheduled, in-person press availability every Monday from 12 to 1 p.m. at the police station located at 62 Black Mountain Road.
This is so members of the media who are looking for statements about policing activities over the past week can have a forum to receive those statements rather than phone calls into dispatch or emails to various department employees. This will streamline the way in which media members can access department staff for comments.
If media members have specific cases they are looking for statements about, it is highly recommended they email that information to [email protected] (with the subject line: Press Availability) beforehand so that the department can have the most up-to-date information ready and available every week.
Due to the large amount of calls for service every week and the importance of providing accurate information, the department will not respond to “on-the-spot” media inquiries during press availability unless the officer providing the availability has qualitative knowledge about the incident and has authorization to discuss it.
For this week only, the Brattleboro Police Department will have a press availability on Thursday, February 20, from 12 to 1 p.m.
