Hoping to attract a larger applicant pool for police chief, Taneytown again extends deadline

Taneytown has extended the deadline to submit an application for police chief by two weeks, in hopes of getting a larger pool of candidates, and deleted a requirement that the chief must live in the city. Thus far, the city has received three applications for the position that has remained open since the Nov. 2 resignation of the last chief, Jason Etzler. The deadline for submitting an application was extended to Sept. 15, according to the advertisement posted on the city’s website, taneytownmd.gov and at https://policeapp.com.
