Liberty police hire considered

(2/12) The Township Board of Supervisors voted at their February 4 meeting to schedule an executive session to meet with a potential new police officer for the municipality.

Police Chief Sherri Hansen told the Board of Supervisors that the police department needs additional help. "We do need another part-time officer right now."

"I only have one, and Cory (Officer Cory Ammerman) won't be back for a little while yet until he gets acclimated to his new position in Conewago Township," she stated.

Hansen recommended hiring Christopher (last name unconfirmed), whom she said, "I do actually know him personally... he did work in York (City Police Department), which is how I know him. He does have over 13 years of police experience, I believe, between two different departments, and he does have several different certifications," relating to police duties, such as running speed-timing devices, and (required) training.

"He would be available for all the hours that we can use him for right now," she said. "So, it would be my recommendation to go ahead and offer him a job as a part-time police officer at the salary we are paying our part-timers right now."

The supervisors requested Hansen schedule a time to meet with the police applicant in executive session.

Township officials did not return repeated requests made by the News-Journal for additional information regarding the police applicant.
