“I am excited to have Chief Gaviglia on board as our police chief,” said John McGraw, chairman of the Union Township Board of Trustees. Union Township trustees said Gaviglia has served the police department with distinction and has the education, training, experience and skills to be an effective police chief. “However with the department’s commitment to ‘Pride, Progress and Professionalism’ (the police department’s motto) and a genuine commitment to community-oriented policing and outreach, I truly believe there is no obstacle we cannot overcome together,” Gaviglia said. “Policing during this time in our nation’s history is challenging. “I am grateful and excited about the opportunity to lead one of the best police department in the region,” Gaviglia said. He was last operations commander for the department and had been serving as interim Union Township police chief after Zinser retired in November. Gaviglia likewise started out his career with the police department as a patrol officer in 1997, winning promotions to sergeant and then to lieutenant. Zinser joined the Union Township Police Department as an entry-level officer. The 17-year veteran of the 60-member police department succeeds Terrence Zinser as chief. Gaviglia’s appointment continues a tradition of promoting from within the ranks of the Union Township Police Department.
