The Mayor, subject to the confirmation of the
Borough Council, may from time to time appoint a civilian dispatcher
or a senior civilian dispatcher upon the recommendation of the Police
Committee in such number as may then be deemed necessary. Each such
appointee shall possess those qualifications as shall be thereafter
specified by the Police Committee and as may be required by state
or county regulation for the continued operation and certification
of the Borough's communication system. Each dispatcher shall serve
for a term not to exceed one year.
Said dispatchers and senior dispatchers shall
not be members of the Police Department. They shall serve in the capacity
of civilian communications operators for the Police Department and
as civilian employees of the Borough of Hasbrouck Heights. Once assigned
to their position, they shall be, however, under the immediate day-to-day
command and direction of the Chief of Police, his designee or his
substitute.
Said dispatcher and senior dispatcher shall
receive such compensation as herein determined by the governing body.
