Six of the seven police chief candidates have already been called in for a first interview, and the last candidate is to be interviewed today, according to Fairfield Twp. administrator Julie Vonderhaar.
Of the 15 who applied for the job that opened when former chief Matt Fruchey resigned at the end of March, seven at one point in their career held the title of police chief, and one is currently an acting police chief (Fairfield Twp.'s Doug Lanier).
Six others have some level of supervisory experience.
