Ridgewood’s Northwest Bergen Central Dispatch has a new director — the village’s former police chief, Lou Mader.

Mader’s appointment was announced by Ridgewood officials on Thursday.

Mader will replace Jack Tancos, who tendered his resignation in late October.

Tancos remains at Bergen Central Dispatch, working as a public safety dispatcher.

Mader, who holds a degree in public administration from William Paterson University, was most recently director of public safety for Hunter College, a position he held for nearly 14 years.

Prior to that, Mader spent eight years running Ridgewood’s police force. He begins his new job Jan. 20.
