THE RECORD

GLEN ROCK — The Borough Council voted Wednesday night to hire two police officers to fill vacancies, but continued this week to resist residents’ calls to reinstate two policemen suspended for deleting two photos from a department computer.

Only a handful of the more than 40 residents in attendance for Wednesday night’s meeting addressed the council, but all chided them for keeping longtime officers Christopher McInerney and Bryan Scott off of the borough’s payroll.

“I am asking you to get [the two officers] back as part of our community,” said resident Michael Donahue, eliciting applause from the audience; he called the suspensions “de facto” punishments.

“Let’s get these gentlemen back on  the  payroll until it is adjudicated,” Donahue insisted.

McInerney and Scott also had their health benefits cut in late December when they were suspended.

“You should be ashamed of yourselves; I am ashamed of you,” Dan McInerney, the brother of one of the officers, told the council.
