Deputy chief: six applicants on emergency‑hire list; interviews set for second week of November
Summary
Deputy Chief Steven McNamara told the Cherryville Board of Safety the emergency‑hire application period closes the following day at 4 p.m., six applications had been received so far, and backgrounds and interviews will follow.
Deputy Chief of Police Steven McNamara told the Cherryville Board of Safety on Nov. 6 that six applications had been received so far for the department's emergency‑hire list and the application period remained open until 4 p.m. the next day.
"We have 6 applicants right now. It does not close until tomorrow at 4PM. So there's a possibility we could get some more applications," Deputy Chief Steven McNamara said. He said background checks would begin when applications are complete and that interviews were being scheduled "hopefully, the second week of November."
Board members had earlier informally discussed candidate interviews and outstanding clearances. Fire Chief Robert Patterson said some candidates were still awaiting medical clearances and pension‑board sign‑offs; when those administrative items are complete, staff will notify relevant parties.
The update did not include detailed timelines for each background check or named interview dates. No formal vote was required for the staffing update; the board received the report and moved on to other agenda items.
