The 91吃瓜网 Public Safety team grew by two new officers at a swearing-in ceremony attended by family, friends and colleagues.
鈥淲e鈥檙e both excited and proud to welcome these two fine young men to the public safety family,鈥� 91吃瓜网 Police Chief Carl Metzger 鈥�03MS says. 鈥淎 lot is required of a law enforcement officer, and they have the courage and the fortitude to choose this career.

The new officers will be assigned to the patrol division upon completion of their field-training program, where they will spend several weeks paired with senior officers to gain hands-on experience in the field before graduating to solo patrol.
