WILTON – A new police computer system was discussed at Tuesday’s select board meeting. In his monthly report to the board, police Chief Dennis Brown described the system called Crimestar.

The wireless system gives officers the ability to fill out reports from their cruisers anytime, anywhere, said Brown on Wednesday. Police can enter and recall information while out instead of returning to the station to complete their reports.

Wilton is one of the first departments in the area to have this program, he said. The system also gives the officer the ability to e-mail reports directly to the district attorney’s office, eliminating printing and delivery expenses.

Brown also said the department has been busy. During the period from Aug. 7 to Sept. 27, officers responded to 1,000 incidents. Most were routine calls including domestic situations and small burglaries, he said.

The select board also received an update from Code Enforcement Officer Paul Montague on three properties with safety concerns. Two buildings are in need of repairs and one yard has enough debris to be considered a junkyard and could require town permits if not cleared, he said.

Previously, Montague discussed the condition of the buildings with the board to see if they would start the process to label them dangerous buildings if owners did not make repairs. The board would then have “the authority to order repairs or removal of buildings that have fallen into such a state of disrepair and neglect that they have become a fire danger or health and safety danger to the community,” he wrote in letters to two owners.

The third homeowner was asked to clear the yard of debris before the end of September or the matter would be brought to the board to consider legal action, he wrote.

After contacting owners, some work has started on the structures and he has not asked the board to take any further action as long as renovations continue to be carried out, he said Wednesday.

Recently, the police chief, deputy fire chief, Montague and the caretaker toured the former Forster Mfg. on Depot Street, one of the buildings of concern. They discussed ways to make it more secure, since the building had been broken into and several windows had been broken, he said.

The building, owned by Adam Mack of American Homes in Portland, is for sale, he said, and added that there needs to be some activity on the property soon to keep it from deteriorating more.

The other two were properties on Adams Street and Temple Road.

In other business, the board sold a tanker truck previously used by the fire department for $2,501.

Town Manager Peter Nielsen discussed the National Incident Management System prior to the board agreeing to take required training and testing. The county and municipalities need to comply with NIMS for access to federal Homeland Security grants.
