Guest Guest Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Why are there so few minorities being hired in the Fire and police Departments (and NO, Portugese is not hispanic). It is a complete disgrace that there are not more hispanics or even one oriental Cop or Fireman and these races compose the majority of the town. How about a few more African Americans? I am sure they are qualified, but just not good enough to work in good old Harrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest_Guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 ANYONE can take the civil service test, PASS, and apply for the fire dept or police dept. These jobs are not just handed out, no matter what you are told or think. You need to actually study and come out high on the lists. THEN towns will come looking for you. By the way, there are, and have been African Americans working at these jobs for quite a while. You can't hire people who don't apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Alot of people living in Harrison have no desire to work why work when the goverment gives you everything for free. I am sooooooooooo tired of hearing that minority crap make them learn to speak english. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 The Police Dept. and Fire Dept. have a total of 3 African American officers and one woman total. Thats out of about 120 employees. That is a disgrace. I thought discrimination was illegal but in Harrison, NJ it seems just fine. Looks and sounds like racism to me. The numbers don't lie.

Guest Guest Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 You hit the nail on the head. english speaking kids sit back in class while the spanish are getting extra help. Go to your country for the help. There parents can't speak a word of english because they don't want to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the New Jersey Dept. of Personnel handbook genius. You score a 100 you get hired first, you score a 70 try again. Unless you have vet status, then you really get hired first. Next time study more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 What about the bigmouth from Livingston who said he got moved-up over other people because his father was friends with him in the plumbers union? I wonder what his score was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest off what list???/ Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 The town of Harrison doesn't hire off lists, it accepts inter governmental transfers of clean cut white boys from the sherrifs office. It provides two things, avoids minority hirings and makes the town lawyer a whole lot of money........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It provides two things, avoids minority hirings and makes the town lawyer a whole lot of money........ It's funny that those white boys from the sheriff's dept. saved the town hundreds of thousands of dollars The town made out by not having to spend money on the police academy and wait the 6 months it takes to complete the academy. They also screwed them by starting them at the bottom of the pay scale. Even though most of them have more years of service and experience than officers that have been there for a while.

Guest Off what list??? Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 What the town saved in not sending these employees to the academy they spend on the Town Attorney to get these so called experienced guys over, and guess what it still takes them six months to come over. Keep racking up those Attorney fees. And as far as the salary yes they are coming over at a lesser rate than senior patrolman, but at much higher than if they just hired them off a civil service list. So get your facts straight, we are not all dopes in this community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 white boys? more like bitter postal workers with guns. the more they hire the less credit the department gets. here'as a thought just make it one big old corrupt station based out of jersey city. that's where it's heading anyway. whew! postal feast!
