Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of lodging facilities in Westwood should be aware that CH. 310 § 310-7 requires every licensee and agent to complete the Town's one-time training program before—or within 30 days of—taking on a designated role. Compliant operators typically ensure that all current and newly designated agents are enrolled promptly, maintain records of completion, and confirm that the Westwood Police Department has accurately recorded their staff on the submission to the Board of Selectmen. Because non-compliance can lead to license revocation, operators generally treat this training as a foundational step in onboarding anyone who will act as a licensee or agent at the facility.

Guests and prospective tenants of Westwood lodging facilities may find it relevant that CH. 310 § 310-7 requires the facility's licensees and agents to have completed an official training program covering the Town's lodging regulations and related laws. If there are concerns that a facility's operators have not met this requirement, those concerns can generally be raised with the Westwood Board of Selectmen, which holds authority over license revocation, or with the Westwood Police Department, which tracks training completion.
