THE RECORD
GLEN ROCK — Before a closed-door council meeting last week, in which an investigation into “the general culture within the police department” was being discussed, the borough served its top two police officers with written notices that matters related to their jobs would be discussed, officials said.
Glen Rock Mayor John van Keuren and the borough’s attorney, Robert Garibaldi, both confirmed Wednesday that before the Aug. 17 meeting what are known as Rice notices were supplied to Chief of Police Frederick Stahman and his second-in-command, Capt. Jonathan Miller.
The notices, Garibaldi said, were issued “as a matter of practice,” provided “sensitive” discussions were scheduled for the private meeting and the names of both veteran officers “were going to be mentioned.”
