Nutter Fort commission tables proposed police hiring and testing changes

The Town of Nutter Fort Police Civil Service Commission on June 15, 2026, moved to table a package of proposed changes to police hiring and testing procedures after an executive session. Member Mike Jones moved to enter executive session "due to sensitive legal obligations," and the motion was seconded by Member David Leroy; the commission entered executive session at 3:03 PM, according to the minutes.

After returning to open session at 4:52 PM, President Sam Strickland moved to table New Business items A through E — listed in the agenda as the PCSC‑1 form, background testing, age requirements, testing/hiring procedures, and advertisement for testing/applications — a motion seconded by David Leroy. The minutes state that all commissioners were in favor and that the items were tabled; no new schedule for further consideration was recorded.

The agenda items were presented together rather than as separate public hearings or discrete, recorded debates. The minutes show no public comment on these proposals and do not report any substantive detail about changes being considered (for example, specific age thresholds, testing instruments, or advertising language). The commission provided no further direction in the minutes about staff follow-up, reporting deadlines, or a timeline for resuming consideration.
