We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?
Thank you for supporting Radio Free Hub City!
The physical fitness portion of the exam will be held on August 2, with an optional practice session available on July 12. A written test is scheduled for August 7 at Borough Hall, with the oral interview date yet to be announced. Applications can be picked up in person or requested by email. All submissions must be received by the deadline, either by mail or electronically.
Candidates do not need to be Act 120 certified prior to testing, though certified applicants receive a ten-point advantage during evaluation. Qualified veterans are also eligible for additional preference points. The borough will consider applicants based on their ability to perform officer duties and does not require prior certification for testing.

But if you're not, that's fine too—we're confident in our mission and will be here if you decide you're ready for the truth. Just $5/month helps fund our local reporting, live election night coverage, and more.
