- The process of choosing a new chief of police for Hamburg Township is now
underway. Township Clerk Jim Neilson says that about 45 applications have
already been submitted for the position, which became vacant with last month’s
retirement of Chief Steve Luciano. Lieutenant Brian DeNoyer is serving as
the department’s interim chief until a replacement is found. The board
plans to advertise the opening at least through the month of April. The board
will then utilize a consultant and panel of three outside law enforcement
experts to eventually narrow it down to five semifinalists. The board will
then further narrow it down to three finalists, and appoint the new chief
from that group. Overall,Neilson says it should take 30-45 days after the
applications are collected to select the new chief. Members of the board
say that the qualifications for the position have gotten stricter due to
the excellent performance of Chief Luciano over the past five years. (TD)
