Keansburg police chief got 11 weeks paid vacation in one year
KEANSBURG An audit by the Office of the State Comptroller found that this borough awarded nearly a half-million dollars in longevity payments to police officers and other municipal employees over a two-year period, and sold back weeks worth of unused vacation and sick days to the then-police chief and borough clerk in apparent violation of their contracts.
Although not identified by name in the OSC report, former Police Chief James Pigott held that rank during the years audited, 2017 and 2018. In the latter year, the OSC found that the chief received 55 vacation days, or 11 full paid weeks off.
