QUINCY, MI (WTVB) – With the search for a new police chief underway, the Quincy Village Council decided on Tuesday night to offer a starting salary of $50,000 to whoever is chosen for the position.
That figure would be open to negotiations depending on the candidate’s qualifications.
Village Manager Brittany Butler said the Branch County Sheriff’s Department has offered a helping hand while the Village Police Department works shorthanded.
She was seeking the Council’s input on a salary for the next Police Chief.
Quincy is looking for a new Police Chief after current Chief Jeremy Burch submitted his two weeks notice on June 13. His last day on the job in Quincy will be this Friday as he plans to leave law enforcement. Burch has been employed by the Quincy Police Department since 2013, and has been Police Chief for the past five years.
The Police Chief opening has been posted on the village’s web site.
