[Adopted 3-19-1956 by Ord. No. 409]
A Police Department is hereby established in
and for the Borough of Baden. The Chief of Police shall be the chief
executive of the Police Department. He shall, under the direction
of the Mayor, be in charge of the police force and have supervision
over its members, in the exercise of their powers, duties and authority.
[Amended 5-15-1985 by Ord. No. 759; 9-17-2014 by Ord. No. 935]
In the Police Department, the following classifications or ranks
are hereby established subordinate to the Chief of Police: Captain,
Lieutenant, Sergeant, Corporal and Patrolman. The salary for each
classification or rank shall be subject to collective bargaining.
However, this amendment was not intended to, nor shall it be construed
to, require Borough Council to appoint or assign any individual to
any particular classification or rank. Rather, it shall be the sole
discretion of Borough Council to either appoint individuals to classifications
or ranks, according to law, or, in the alternative, to leave said
classifications or ranks vacant, except and only except to the extent
that individuals have heretofore been appointed to any classifications
or ranks.
[Amended 5-15-1985 by Ord. No. 759]
