Police commission recounts failed hire, reopens recruitment after candidate drops out
The Edgerton Police Commission interviewed applicants for an open officer position and reported outcomes to the council. Of seven applicants scheduled for interviews, the commission recorded multiple no-shows; two were no-shows with no call, and two were no-shows with calls. One candidate completed the process and initially accepted an offer but later withdrew after learning she would not be paid while attending the police academy.

A commission representative told the council that because the candidate chose another position that paid during academy time, the commission reposted the vacancy. The commission said it had re-posted the position that day. The commission’s report did not include the names of applicants or further details about any planned changes to recruiting, compensation policy, or academy support.

The council received the police commission’s report during committee reports; the record shows the commission has reopened recruitment but provides no additional timeline or next steps in the transcript.
