Council Hires John Adams as Full‑Time Police Officer; Tabling Motion Fails
Summary
Council approved hiring John Adams as a full‑time Beaver police officer effective Jan. 1, 2025 conditional on physical and psychological testing; a motion to table the hire for one month failed 6–2 before the hire passed 6–2.
Beaver Borough Council voted to hire John Adams as a full‑time police officer for the Beaver Police Department, effective Jan. 1, 2025, contingent on passing required physical and psychological testing. The hiring motion followed a failed attempt by Councilor Alexander Andres to table the hire for one month; the table motion failed 6–2 and the hiring motion later passed on the same tally.
The action comes amid council discussion about police staffing models, which Councilor Margaret McKean had raised earlier in the meeting and shared via an article she provided to council members. The manager noted pending grants for police body cameras elsewhere in the meeting, and the hire is conditioned on completion of pre‑employment testing as recorded in the motion.
