The Cranbury police force from Chief Logan to Chief Hansen has been local officers who knew the squad, the town and the people, IMO we need to continue that trend. A public saftey officer would have been a large negative. Also, I am not sure how we equate Cranbury with towns like Edison.

A police chief is a law enforcement official who manages and directs the department’s internal day-to-day operations, Township Administrator Christine Smeltzer said. <br /> <br /> Even though Ms. Smeltzer endorsed hiring a new chief, she also presented the committee with the option of hiring a public safety director. <br /> <br /> She said that public safety directors were more prevalent in towns with a young and inexperienced force that had yet to reach the upper ranks of a department, making it difficult to promote from within, or when a department is experiencing problems and needs supervision. <br /> <br /> ”I don’t think that’s the case with the current Police Department,” Ms. Smeltzer said. <br />... <br /><a href="http://www.packetonline.com/articles/2008/03/14/cranbury_press/news/doc47da8819750ca803321018.prt" target="_blank">http://www.packetonline.com/articles/2008/03/14/cranbury_press/news/doc47da8819750ca803321018.prt</a></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
