North Haledon Council swears in probationary police officer Michael Schlosser
Summary
At its Feb. 19 work session the North Haledon Borough Council deviated from the agenda to appoint Michael Schlosser as a probationary police officer; Councilwoman Donna Puglisi, the police commissioner, administered the oath. Public comment included a brief statement of support from a visiting superintendent.
The North Haledon Borough Council unanimously approved a motion on Feb. 19 to deviate from the regular agenda and appoint Michael Schlosser as a probationary police officer.
Council Member Donna Puglisi moved to deviate from the regular order of business so the appointment could be made; Council Member Rocco Luisi seconded the motion and, according to the minutes, "all members present voted in the affirmative." Councilwoman Puglisi, identified in the record as the Police Commissioner, administered the oath of office to Officer Schlosser.
The appointment occurred during the council's work session; the minutes record no separate roll-call tally beyond the statement that all present voted in favor. The minutes also note that Vincent Parmese was not listed among initial attendees and arrived later in the meeting.
During the public-comment period, John Coviello, identified as Superintendent of Manchester, spoke to express support for the mayor and council and invited residents to upcoming Manchester events. The council opened and closed public comment by unanimous motions recorded in the minutes.
The minutes record the appointment among other routine agenda items and indicate the minutes were submitted by Deputy Clerk Dena Cedar and approved at the March 19, 2025 council meeting.
