Yes, The New Police Chief should also be forced to read posts at JCList.com

So will new chief be required to move to JC? I sure hope so.

well, he might be, but I doubt getting reinstated would be in anyone's best interest. Worst case, the city has to back up a Brink's truck to settle, or upon court order, I would think.

That's just me pontificating. I really know less about this than I should.

Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop has tapped a 35-year veteran of the police department to serve as the city's new police chief.

Deputy Police Chief Philip Zacche, 58, succeeds Robert Cowan, who was appointed chief last October. Last month, Fulop announced that he was demoting Cowan, a move Cowan is fighting.

"The selection of Deputy Chief Zacche to lead the Jersey City Police Department speaks to the administration's commitment to remove the potential of politics in the Police Department," Fulop said in a statement.
