Allegheny Township approves $6,250 evidence‑room system and authorizes police hiring advertisement
Summary
Supervisors approved a $6,250 quote for Evidence Control Systems Inc. to address the police evidence room and authorized Chief Uncapher to advertise testing for full‑time police officers; the hiring advertisement will close June 1, 2026.
The Allegheny Township Board of Supervisors on May 11 approved a purchase to update the police evidence room and authorized the township police chief to advertise testing for full‑time officer positions.
Supervisor Frank Weissert moved to approve the quote from Evidence Control Systems Inc. for $6,250 to address the police evidence room; Supervisor Jeff Pollick seconded and the motion carried. The minutes do not provide a recorded vote tally.
The board also approved a motion by Supervisor Pollick authorizing Chief Dan Uncapher to advertise the testing process for full‑time police officers after the board determined the existing candidate list was exhausted. The advertisement period will end June 1, 2026; after that the interview process will begin and the board expects to develop a candidate list for potential future vacancies.
Why it matters: maintaining chain‑of‑custody and secure evidence storage is a routine legal and operational responsibility of police departments. Advertising a testing process starts the timeline for recruiting and selecting permanent officers.
What’s next: the evidence-room purchase will be executed per the approved quote; the police hiring advertisement is scheduled to close June 1, 2026, and interviews will follow.
