Unanimous Roll Call Vote Selectwoman Wyman-Colombo-yes Selectman Weeden-yes Selectwoman Kelley-Wilson-yes Selectman Richardson- yes Presentation by District Attorney Robert Galibois The Select Board welcomed District Attorney Robert Galilbois. Galibois returned for a third time to update the board on five major public safety initiatives. First, the CERT (Child Emergency Response Team) program launched two months ago to coordinate rapid response to child abuse cases, with strong attendance at recent training. Second, nearly $100K was used for human trafficking training across the State, with over 200 attendees at an April session featuring the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office. Third, new fentanyl laws allowing pre-trial detention have helped reduce overdoses — non-fatal by 25% and fatal by 35% in 2023 to date. Fourth, Cape Cod Healthcare’s real-time CIMS system, which connects first responders and hospitals for overdose cases, is expanding through a $1 million grant. Finally, on elder fraud, Barnstable had 319 reports but only 15 charges due to limited resources. A proposal for $580K would fund six new positions to address the issue, with wide support from local agencies. Board members emphasized the growing risk of scams, particularly with AI, and discussed issuing a letter of support from Mashpee Police Department.
