Nazareth Advertises for Full-Time Police Officers

Nazareth Mayor Carl Strye has an announcement: Let the full-time police hiring process begin.

Strye stated that a public notice was posted on Nazareth's website seeking full-time police officers as the borough tries to rebuild its police force.

"The process has officially started," Strye said. "We are on our way!"

Nazareth is looking to rebuild its police department after a deal to try to get Colonial Regional to oversee police coverage fell through. 

The borough currently has three full-time police officers, including Police Chief Thomas Trachta. Nazareth has also been seeking part-time police officers.
