At the Ambler Borough Committee Meeting on June 5, Council President, Frank DeRuosi asked for a motion to, ” …keep the search for a new chief limited to current members of the Ambler Police Force only…”

Council voted 5-4 in favor of hiring from within, and also voted in favor of hiring a third party to provide assistance in the hiring process and conduct the interviews of prospective candidates, at a cost not to exceed $7,500.

As Chief William Foley mentioned at the last Council meeting, his senior police staff, and likely candidates are: Sgt. Robert Hoffman, who is serving as the interim chief and has 23 years of experience within the department, and Sgt. Jeffrey Borkowski who has served 22 years on the force.

The full meeting from June 5th can be viewed below. Note that the vote to keep the hiring of the new Police Chief inside the Ambler Borough Police Department begins at 50:24.
