I recently had the opportunity to speak with Gloucester City Police Chief George Berglund and Housing Inspector Joe Stecklair about the questionable ticketing of preselected property owners and/or residents. A total of 54 properties were selected for tickets.
Ordinance 73-15 addresses the issue of snow removal from sidewalks. The ordinance says \”It is the duty of the police officers of Gloucester City, to make complaint against any person or persons who violate73-15 of this ordinance\”.
Chief Berglund acknowledged that he did not assign any police officers to perform the required duty of the ordinance nor did he know how the time was established to start the count down for the violation.
Chief Housing Inspector Stecklair acknowledged that he volunteered his services to \”Be the Eyes and Ears of the Police Department\”.
