Police chief: new hire unresponsive; council agrees to search for one part-time officer
Summary
Police Chief David Pernice told Union City council that a previously approved new hire has not responded and that he plans to recruit through the consortium and Civil Service; council agreed to continue the search for one part-time officer.
Police Chief David Pernice told the council on Aug. 27 that he has been unable to reach a previously approved new hire and "is assuming he is no longer interested." He said there are 32 candidates on the Civil Service list and that while he would like to hire two part-time officers ultimately, only one position was approved by the council.
Pernice said he will contact the consortium, work with the Civil Service Commission to set up oral exams and send letters to candidates. Council members agreed to the plan to search for one part-time officer to fill the approved vacancy.
No formal vote was recorded on staffing beyond the earlier personnel approval; the chief's update set the next administrative steps (contact consortium, schedule Civil Service examinations, and issue recruitment letters).
