North Versailles Twp. commissioners welcomed a pair of visitors to their July meeting to present citations to the township’s former police chief who retired recently after nearly three decades of service.

James Matrazzo joined the North Versailles Police Department in 1996 and became the township’s chief of police in 2015.

In honor of that service, Matrazzo was presented with a citation from the state House of Representatives by state Rep. Brandon Markosek (D-25th) and one from Allegheny County presented by Councilwoman Michelle Naccarati-Chapkis (D-District 8).

He also received a citation from the state Senate, presented to him by Commissioner Russell Saula, head of the township commissioners’ Police & Public Safety Committee, after state Sen. James Brewster (D-45th) was unable to attend.

Matrazzo has been replaced as chief of police by Norm Locke, who oversees a department of 19 full-time officers including himself.
