Public Safety

New Officers sworn in at January 10, 2017 Council Meeting

At the first Council meeting in January, we had the pleasure of swearing in two new police officers, Quinten Strand (left) and Simeon Morell (right). While these two are worthy of excitement due to their qualifications alone, our excitement was partially due to the difficulty we had in finding candidates. We started our search in February 2016 and reposted the position twice before successfully hiring last month.

A Tribute to Our Public Safety Staff and Volunteers

I had the honor of recognizing our public safety staff – police officers, dispatchers, EMS and fire – during the volunteer recognition at Party in the Park (special thanks to the Chamber of Commerce for offering the suggestion and coordinating the event). An abbreviated version of my comments are included below.
