When, where and how did Tony Luna bring back the Deputy Chief position for Donald Scorzetti?




The following line appeared on northjersey.com on October 24, 2015:


“The man's identity has not been released and charges are pending, Lodi Deputy Chief Donald Scorzetti said.”


Scorzetti’s linkedin page and the Record article place the time of Scorzetti’s elevation to Deputy Chief to be around October 2015.


There is no record of this action on any minutes for 2015.  An appointment to Deputy Chief would be an action that must take place in open session.


Alan Spiniello was Lodi’s Borough Attorney in October 2015.  Yet this is what he recently listed on a public notice:


Deputy Chief of Police Donald Scorzetti ("Scorzetti") has been serving as Deputy Chief of Police of the Borough of Lodi since January 1, 2017.


The process of this promotion matters.  The time of the promotion matters.
