Img_9722Red Bank Police Chief Mark Fitzgerald checks out a new metal detector at Borough Hall Tuesday.

The $3,500 device will be used to scan visitors to Municipal Court, but not attendees to other borough functions such as council and planning board meetings.

Its use will also free up one of three police officers now assigned to do wand inspections; Fitzgerald said the officer would be assigned to patrol duty.
