LIBERTY — Police Chief Anthony Slifka is speaking out about his pending termination and is determined to show the good he has done here as the township’s top cop.
Trustees, in a 2-to-1 decision, issued Slifka a letter asking him to resign or be terminated at the trustees’ June 9 meeting. Trustee Jodi Stoyak is opposed to the decision to terminate Slifka.
Slifka has served as chief since 2001. His most recent contract would have ended in October.
Slifka said today he is consulting with an attorney about the matter. He has no plans to resign from his position, but said that could change upon the advice of an attorney.
“Based on the advice of my attorney I will make that decision, but the way I feel right now I don’t think I will be going anywhere; they will have to fire me,” he said.
