<p>LARKSVILLE &#8212; The Larksville Police Department has announced that former Wilkes-Barre officer Daniel Duffy will be joining its force as a part-timer.</p><p>Duffy was fired in October by Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tony George as part of an ongoing dispute between the police union and city administration. The union has already started the grievance process to get Duffy reinstated.</p><p>Duffy was a member of Wilkes-Barre&#8217;s force since 2014 and vice president of the police union, plus an instructor at the Lackawanna College Police Academy in Scranton and former Scranton police chief.</p><p>&#8220;Officer Duffy brings with him years of experience, not only as a law enforcement officer, but as an instructor in numerous law enforcement disciplines,&#8221; the Larksville Police Department wrote in a statement on its Facebook page. &#8220;We are fortunate to have him as an addition to our department, and the Larksville community.&#8221;</p><style>
