Police chief reports inability to reach approved recruit; council agrees to search for one part‑time officer
Summary
Police Chief David Pernice said a newly approved hire has not been reachable; he plans to contact the consortium list and coordinate oral exams through the Civil Service Commission. The council agreed to continue searching for one part‑time officer.
Police Chief David Pernice told the Union City Borough Council that a candidate approved at the previous meeting has not responded to outreach and the chief now assumes the person is no longer interested.
Pernice said he will contact the regional consortium candidate list (which he reported contains 32 names) and will check with the Civil Service Commission to schedule oral examinations for candidates. He said his departments goal had been to hire two part‑time officers but only one position had been approved by the council; council members agreed to search for one part‑time officer.
No public comment was recorded on the matter and no formal personnel action was taken at the Aug. 27 meeting. Follow up steps described in the minutes include contacting the consortium and coordinating exams through the Civil Service Commission.
