Newtown police attended the March 14 Board of Supervisors meeting to push for a finalized signed contract with the township with a hiring of a new officer and changes to medical plan.
NEWTOWN SQUARE–On behalf of the Newtown Police Department, Det. Joseph Vandegrift stood before the Newtown Board of Supervisors March 14 to "speed up the process" of finalizing their 2009-2011 police contract with the township. According to Vandegrift, officers have been without a signed contract for six years now but the negotiation process for the current contract began in 2009. "We're very frustrated because we're two-and-a-half years into a three-year contract that has not been signed yet," said Vandegrift. In addition, Vandegrift said the officers have not seen a raise in 14 months now and in 2010 and 2011 a pay raise freeze was implemented. In November 2010, Vandegrift said the police department went before the board to discuss their…
