Police chief reports no response from approved hire, council agrees to continue search for one part-time officer
Summary
Police Chief David Pernice told council an approved candidate has not responded; he plans to contact the hiring consortium, set up Civil Service oral exams and continue recruitment. Council agreed to search for one part-time officer despite the chief's preference for two.
Police Chief David Pernice updated the Union City Borough Council on recruitment for a recently approved new hire, saying he has tried to contact the candidate "but has had no luck" and is assuming the person is no longer interested. He told council there are 32 candidates on the consortium list and that he will check with the Civil Service Commission to schedule oral exams and send out letters.
Pernice said he would prefer to hire two part-time officers but noted the council had approved only one position; council members agreed to continue the search for one part-time hire. The chief’s update was given during routine department reports and no formal motion was recorded on recruitment at the meeting.
