An employee responsible for taking fine payments at the Dartmouth courthouse has been terminated after an audit revealed a small number of payments had not been recorded or deposited. The funds involved are believed to total less than $5,000.

The audit is ongoing and the matter has been referred to police. The department will take steps to recover the funds from the former staff member.

The department has also been conducting a review of the technology used in processing fine payments which has identified process and security improvements.
