Ambridge’s chief of police has been placed on administrative leave. Ambridge Borough Council unanimously voted to put Chief James Mann on leave amid a Pennsylvania State Police investigation. It is unclear what troopers are investigating Mann for and council did not mention a reason during their Tuesday vote. In addition, Ambridge Council has appointed a local firm to conduct an independent investigation into the police department. The council also took a “disciplinary measure” last night against a second Ambridge officer, who is not being identified. That officer was suspended without pay for 30 days. Sandy Giordano was at the Ambridge Council meeting last night and is working to learn more details. Stay with Beaver County Radio News for the latest on this developing story.
