Mooresville Town Council honors police graduates and swears in new officers

The Mooresville Board of Commissioners convened on July 1, 2025, to address key community matters, including the recognition of local police achievements and adjustments to the agenda. The meeting commenced with a warm acknowledgment of the Memorial Police Department Assistance Academy graduates, highlighting the commitment of local law enforcement to community service.

In a notable moment, three new officers were sworn in to the Town of Mooresville Police Department, reinforcing the town's dedication to public safety. This addition to the force is expected to enhance community policing efforts and improve response times.

The commissioners also discussed the consent agenda, which included the potential repurposing of outdated equipment previously used by the youth council. Town Clerk Jane Crosby explained that the equipment, once utilized for a robotics team, has become obsolete following a reset of the youth council's activities post-COVID. This decision reflects the town's ongoing efforts to optimize resources for current community needs.

Additionally, Commissioner West took a moment to commend Detective Bridal Powers, who is retiring after a distinguished career with the Mooresville Police Department. His contributions, including service on federal task forces and undercover operations, were recognized as significant to the safety and security of the community.

As the meeting progressed, the commissioners moved on to regular agenda items, indicating a proactive approach to governance and community engagement. The discussions and decisions made during this meeting are expected to have lasting impacts on public safety and community resources in Mooresville.
