Mt. Lebanon commissioners tonight approved the hiring of Coleman J. McDonough as chief of police. A Pittsburgh native who most recently served as law enforcement coordinator for the U.S. attorney's office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, he also served as deputy commissioner for the Pennsylvania State Police from 2006 to 2008.
Thomas Ogden, Mt. Lebanon's chief of police for 10 years until his retirement in September, is currently director of security at Carnegie Mellon University.

Chief McDonough is 53/54 years old, according to the linked article. He appears to be very qualified for the job. He is experienced. I am concerned about how long he will stick around before retirement. We cannot afford to hire chiefs close to retirement, and pay out lots of taxpayer funded pension dollars. The 2012 pension fund increase is right around the corner.
If Lebo were to not hire someone because of their age Lebo would be subject to a discrimination lawsuit I would think.
