Police chief reports stalled hire; council agrees to keep searching for a part-time officer
Summary
Police Chief David Pernice told council the previously approved new hire has not responded; he said there are 32 candidates on the consortium list, he would prefer two part-time officers though only one was approved, and council directed staff to continue recruiting for one part-time officer.
Police Chief David Pernice told the Union City Borough Council that the candidate approved at the previous meeting has not responded to contact attempts and he is “assuming he is no longer interested.” He said there are 32 candidates on the consortium eligibility list and that he would like to hire two part-time officers although only one position had been approved by the borough.
Pernice said he will contact the consortium, arrange oral exams with the Civil Service Commission and send letters to applicants. Councilors present (Joyce, Osborn, Steadman and Kerns) agreed to continue a search for one part-time officer. The update was delivered as part of the police chief’s report and did not include a formal vote.
