Summary
Council voted unanimously to appoint Christopher Brazen as a part‑time police officer pending the police chief's approval, citing staffing shortages and encouraging applicants for civil service testing.
Dunmore Borough Council on Feb. 9 approved a motion to appoint Christopher Brazen as a part‑time police officer, with the appointment subject to Chief Marchese's approval.
