Nazareth Police Assistant Remaining on Staff

As Nazareth puts together its police department, one assistant who has served the borough will be sticking around for a while.

Victoria Rubio, a police administrative assistant to Police Chief Thomas Trachta, had a six-month employment contract approved by the Borough Council at a recent meeting.

Rubio's contract will contain the same salary, benefits and other provisions as her current contract. She will then go on to having her contract renewed each Jan. 1 as it is done with all other borough employees.

Trachta's contract was also recently renewed through the remainder of the year.

Nazareth also recently added two part-time officers and is advertising for full-time help as well.

Meanwhile, the police department is also getting a visual alert program. The new software update purchase costs $2,727.79.
