Nazareth Hires Full-Time Officer

Nazareth now has six full time officers (though two are on disability) and three part time officers according to an article in the Express-Times (read it here).

The article also notes the force is now at full-complement.

One nagging issue for some in the borough is the status of Chief Sinclair's residence. In the past the Chief was required to live within the Nazareth School District to ensure availability on reasonably short notice, but when Sinclair was hired and again at his one year renewal, Council opted to exempt this requirement.

Another issue that the Council will need to manage in the coming year(s) is the department budget. As the department has 'modernized' and grown, so too have the associated costs.
