GLEN ROCK — Two suspended policemen have had their salaries and medical benefits restored while they face disciplinary action for allegedly deleting photo files from a police department computer.
Officer Christopher McInerney confirmed Friday morning that the Glen Rock council informed his lawyers on Thursday that he was returned to the borough’s payroll with his benefits back in effect. Officer Bryan Scott also started receiving pay again from Thursday on, and he and his family’s benefits are active once more.
Both officers received checks from the borough on Thursday. The suspensions remain in effect, McInerney said, but with pay.
A statement issued by the borough Friday said the council agreed to restore the officers’ benefits and salaries “based upon the prior habit, custom and practice of the borough.”
The move, the statement added, in no way “questions or challenges the decision by Chief [Fred] Stahman to file disciplinary charges against the two officers.”
Glen Rock retroactively paid McInerney and Scott from the date of their suspensions in late December, McInerney said.
