Final Consultant Report

The Borough released the final report from its consultant, which examined options and tax savings associated with entering into a long term contract with Medford Township for police services. However, at its October 14th meeting, Borough Council, by a 2-1 vote, decided to maintain its own police force, and declined to survey Borough taxpayers after expressing little support to continue the discussions.
The final report is available to the public at the Borough offices and on the Borough’s website.
Questions may be addressed to Mayor Paul Weiss or Geoff Urbanik, Borough Manager at 609-654-8898.
