Upon hiring, the Town Marshal and his or her deputies shall be subject to a one-year probationary period during which time the officer's performance will be evaluated by the Town Council and the Town Marshal. Prior to the officer's one-year anniversary, the Town Council shall be apprised of the officer's performance by the Town Marshal, or, if it is the Town Marshal's first year of employment, the Town Council will review his or her performance. After this evaluation, the Town Council shall notify the officer in writing prior to his or her first-year anniversary whether his or her job performance has been satisfactory. If an officer is so notified that his or her performance is unsatisfactory, his or her employment shall immediately cease. Otherwise, at the expiration of the probationary period, the officer is considered regularly employed by the town, upon completion of required training.
