Wrentham Selectmen Vote to Appoint Dispatcher

The Wrentham Board of Selectmen voted at their meeting Tuesday night to appoint a new full-time dispatcher to serve the town's public safety departments.

Thomas Vigorito was approved by unanimous vote.

Police Chief James Anderson said Vigorito has already worked with the department.

"He's been working for us on a part-time basis, and he's worked part-time in Plainville, too," he said. "He's been with us for a couple of months."

"He has all his state and federal certifications," he added.

According to Anderson, the department has been seeking dispatchers.

"We currently have a shortage," he said. "We've lost some dispatchers in the past three-and-a-half to four months."

Selectman Michael Carroll asked if the position had been posted for applicants. Anderson said it had.

The board voted to approve the new full-time dispatcher.
