Donora’s civil service commission held a hearing Thursday to determine the fate of former police superintendent Jim Brice. Brice was fired in August, and accusations against him have remained unknown to the public until yesterday. Brice’s dismissal came after repeated efforts from some borough officials to remove him from his post over the previous two years. The borough brought a dozen accusations against the former superintendent, including neglect of duties, submitting erroneous monthly reports, failing to respond to back-up calls, failing to follow multiple borough directives, allowing unauthorized access to police databases and intoxication at work.
