Orthodox cop who faced likely firing quits
Ramapo's first Orthodox Jewish policewoman resigned Thursday with a $190,000 payout and the town paying her $285,000 in legal fees after a short but stormy tenure that included her bosses taking away her gun and badge in December.
Baile Glauber's yearlong probation would have ended in early February, with the police chief having recommended her termination, according to the settlement.
Glauber, 32, who grew up in Ramapo's Satmar Hasidic community, will leave the force Feb. 3. She is a divorced mother and resident of Spring Valley.
Glauber spent most of her six-month tenure on desk duty after an ankle injury at the Rockland Police Academy flared up several weeks after she started patrolling in June. She had not completed her field training before Police Chief Peter Brower placed her on leave with pay in December.
The Ramapo Police Commission — made up of the supervisor and four Town Board members — adopted a resolution Thursday accepting Glauber's resignation and the financial settlement.
The officials need to adopt the same resolution sitting as the Ramapo Town Board.
The settlement ends all lawsuits and calls for the town to pay Glauber $190,000 and her $285,000 legal bill on Feb. 26 involving her labor complaint accusing the town and Police Department of religious discrimination.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission declined to pursue Glauber's claims of discrimination, but it gave her a "right to sue letter," allowing her to file a lawsuit in federal court, Town Attorney Michael Klein said.
With the agreement, Glauber agrees to drop all legal actions and the town releases her from any claims and liabilities, according to the resolution adopted by town officials.
Klein said the Town Board decided it would likely cost taxpayers less money to buy out Glauber and pay her legal bills than to defend a federal lawsuit.
