Greensburg hires new police officer

The Greensburg Police Department has a new member.

Patrol officer Shelby Hubert was sworn in via Zoom this week during a virtual city council meeting.

Hubert previously worked part time at the Frazer Township Police Department, according to Greensburg Capt. Shawn Denning. Her salary will be $52,000 a year.

Hubert’s hiring is part of an ongoing roster shuffle at the department to replace two recent vacancies.

Former police Chief Chad Zucco retired last year, and Sgt. John Swank died in September after a cardiac event caused by a rare disease. Former Capt. Robert Stafford was promoted to chief, with former Lt. Shawn Denning becoming the new captain.

The promotions continued last month when Sgt. Donald Cole became a lieutenant and patrolman Reginald Harbarger Jr. became a sergeant. The department still needs to promote one officer to detective sergeant and hire one more patrol officer to fill the remaining gaps in the roster.
