The Caln Township commissioners agreed to receive assistance from the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association in their search for a new police chief.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

CALN \u2013 While no definitive timetable has been set for the hiring of a new police chief, the board of commissioners has accepted outside aid in their search.<\/p>\n

At Thursday\u2019s meeting, the board voted to accept a proposal from the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association (PCPA), offering their services to assist the township in its search for a new police chief. According to board Vice President Charles Kramer, the PCPA offers, among other services, executive search services to assist municipalities in hiring a chief of police.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have a specific service for this that we\u2019re going to utilize,\u201d said Kramer.<\/p>\n

The board voted unanimously to accept the proposal, with the condition that language concerning non-disclosure be added. Commissioner Joshua Young was absent from the meeting.<\/p>\n

At a special meeting on Sept. 6, the board voted to terminate Chief Brian Byerly, citing allegations of misconduct. Prior to his ouster, Byerly had served as police chief for four years and had been a member of the department for 26 years. The department is currently being supervised by Lt. Jeff Nash.<\/p>\n

It is expected that Byerly will appeal his ouster, though the board was unable to provide a definitive answer as to when a hearing would occur.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe process is moving, but it\u2019s still ongoing,\u201d said Kramer. \u201cWe\u2019re still in a position where we can\u2019t discuss it.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked by a resident if the potential hearing would be open to the public, Kramer said the matter would be resolved by the Civil Service Commission prior to the hearing.<\/p>\n

\u201cEither side can argue to have it be private and that will be determined at that time if a civil service hearing occurs,\u201d said Kramer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
