Edinburgh commission approves five-member interview board to screen police candidates
Summary
The commission approved a five-member interview board—police officer, town council member, merit board member, fire/public-safety representative and one community layperson—and directed staff to confirm specific people for approval at the Aug. 13 meeting.
The Edinburgh Board of Metropolitan Police Commissioners voted to approve the composition of a five-member interview board to screen police candidates, setting membership as: one police department officer, one member of the town council, one merit-board member, one public-safety representative (such as from the fire department), and one layperson from the community. Chair brought the item forward and the board agreed to finalize names for formal approval at the August 13 meeting.
Committee members discussed possible candidates and internal representation; one member asked if Miriam or Emily would serve and another suggested asking a ranked officer such as Justin. The board agreed the membership should include a police officer, a town council representative, a fire/public-safety representative, a merit-board member and a community layperson and moved to approve that makeup for the interview panel. The motion was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote; the chair directed staff to solicit availability and return specific names for the Aug. 13 meeting.
