North Londonderry Township supervisors reset the board and other departmental leadership positions at their Jan. 5 reorganization and regular monthly meeting.

The following positions were filled by the supervisors for 2026: 

  • Chairman – Bill Buckfelder
  • Vice Chairman – Jim Hartman
  • Board Member – Mike Salvo

The newly set board also named Thomas R. Hentz as chief of police for the North Londonderry Township Police Department. That move follows the previously announced retirement in October of Chief Kevin Snyder, who worked for the township for 24 years.

Supervisors also voted to promote Skylar H. Snyder to lieutenant and Timothy A. Zechman to corporal within the police department.
