Female cop hired

This is from Monday's Columbia Borough Council meeting.

You can read the entire story in Thursday's edition of the Columbia Ledger.

Holly Arndt won’t be a history maker in Columbia, but she will be the second of her gender.
Arndt was hired Monday night by borough council as just the second female police officer in the borough. Columbia has been without a female officer for about 15 years.
Arndt, who will start a six-month training course on March 3, probably won’t hit the streets of Columbia until the fall, according to Mayor Leo Lutz.
Arndt’s hiring was by a 6-1 vote. Voting for the hiring were Council President Sandy Duncan, Council Vice-President Mary Wickenheiser, Mike Beury, Mary Barninger, Mitch Cooper and Kelly Murphy. Voting against Arndt’s hiring was Vern Detz, explaining he wanted to see the need to hire another officer.
Also, council instructed the Civil Service Commission to begin the testing process for the position of sergeant.
