Friday is Cutoff to Apply to Hillsdale Police

Friday at 4 p.m. is the deadline for any interested candidates to apply for a police officer position with the Hillsdale Police Department.

Applicants should submit a resume and cover letter to Police Chief Chip Stalter before that time to be considered. The borough is searching for an officer who is either certified by the New Jersey Police Training Commission or certified as a Special Law Enforcement Officer Class Two.

The Hillsdale Council voted to search for a new officer at their last meeting because several officers have recently left for retirement or other positions. Recently, Jeff Angermeyer left the department for a job with the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office.

Mayor Max Arnowitz previously said he hoped to have the new officer working by September.

Officials are also looking to promote on of the borough's officers to sergeant.
