North Haledon council sets police staffing table in ordinance update
Summary
Ordinance #13-2022 amending Chapter 107 to define the borough police department's authorized ranks and counts passed unanimously on May 18, 2022; the minutes record the staffing table but include an inconsistent line for 'Police Officer' counts.
The North Haledon Borough Council adopted Ordinance #13-2022 on May 18, 2022, revising Chapter 107 to set the authorized composition of the police department. The ordinance lists ranks and maximum numbers: Chief of Police (one), Captain (two), Lieutenant (two), Sergeant (four), Detective Sergeant (two) and Police Officer (the text lists "eleven (10)").
Clerk Renate Elatab presented the ordinance; Council Member Donna Puglisi moved adoption and Council Member George Pomianek seconded. The ordinance passed its second and final reading by unanimous roll-call vote.
The minutes record the staffing numbers in ordinance text but contain an internal inconsistency where the police officer line shows both "eleven" and "(10)"; the minutes do not clarify whether the intended authorized count is 10 or 11. The council did not record any public comment or amendment to resolve that discrepancy at the May 18 meeting.
The ordinance takes effect upon final reading and adoption as required by law and will be posted by the Municipal Clerk.
