The Cherry Hill Police Officers Association is fully expecting to see as many as 16 officers laid off by July 1, as the organization and Cherry Hill continue to negotiate new contracts for the police union.
About 50 police officers and the Presidents of the Cherry Hill FOP and PBA made their presence felt Monday night at the Township Council meeting. According to FOP Vice President Tim Tedesco, the township is planning to terminate between 12 to 16 uniformed police officers from Cherry Hill.
Mayor Bernie Platt did not confirm the number, as the township is still working to craft its budget. He did not go into details of the ongoing contract negotiations.
