>Amber Ready : It’s astounding that Fairview gave Frank time off to work at his other job
It is astounding that Fairview gave Frank time off to work at his other job “saving Fairview much needed revenue”. Someone should be investigating the politics in Fairview and why shortly thereafter Frank would be promoted to Chief. It seems the good taxpayers of Fairview have been paying for services and positions over and above what was required.
The following announcement was from Amber Ready as disclosed to BusinessWeek: “AMBER Ready Announces Executive Changes
07/14/2009
AMBER Ready Inc. announced new key leadership appointments to help support the company’s rapid growth and spur greater national awareness of the AMBER Ready Child Safety Initiative. Effective immediately, law enforcement executive Frank Del Vecchio, who has served as Senior Vice President of the company for the past year, has been named as Chief Operating Officer and is tasked with managing AMBER Ready’s day-to-day operations and growing workforce. The company has also welcomed Gregory Thomas, a nationally recognized school safety expert, who will guide and advise AMBER Ready’s executive management team on its strategic business development efforts. Del Vecchio has more than 20 years experience in law enforcement and also currently serves as the Deputy Chief of Police of the Fairview Police Department in Bergen County, New Jersey.”
Amazing that the “law enforcement executive Frank Del Vecchio” could be “tasked with managing AMBER Ready’s day-to-day operations and growing workforce” while working full time as the Deputy Police Chief, and within months Police Chief, of the Fairview Police Department.
Something is very wrong here. The “effective immediately” announcement was made 7/14/2009 yet it seems Frank took those weeks off several months later? Very wrong.
