1Opinion of the CourtJustice Long
In 2004, the Borough of Glassboro Police Department (Borough) announced an opening for the position of lieutenant. Three candidates applied, including Sergeants Peter Amico and William Highley. As a non-civil service municipality, the Borough is not subject to the statutory requirements of a “comprehensive promotional procedure.” Rather, state law requires only that “[d]ue consideration shall be given to the member or officer so proposed for the promotion, to the length and merit of his service and preference shall be given according to seniority in service.” N.J.S.A. 40A: 14-129.
