The Board of Metropolitan Police Commissioners of the Town of Maryville, Indiana, approved resolutions promoting two officers to corporal and two to sergeant, effective 12:01 a.m. Aug. 24, 2025, each with a six‑month probationary period.

Chief Noussis of the Maryville Police Department opened the board's promotional ceremony and said the promotions represent "a new chapter, a new level of responsibility, and a deepened trust" in the officers being recognized. He described leadership as "about responsibility, mentorship, and making those around you better."

The board adopted Resolution 10-48 to promote Patrolman Ian Fultz and Patrolman Popovich to the rank of corporal. According to the chief's remarks recorded in the meeting transcript, Fultz joined the department in April 2015, serves as a K-9 handler, and has worked as a field training officer, instructor and leader of a civil unrest team. The transcript says Popovich joined the department in November 2013 and has served as a field training officer, instructor, SWAT team member and acting corporal.

The board adopted Resolution 10-49 to promote Jason Best and Anthony Bonica to the rank of sergeant. The transcript says Best joined the department in January 2009 and has served as a field training officer, firearms and Taser instructor, SWAT team member and shift commander. The record lists roles for Bonica in the resolution text but provides fewer biographical details in the oral remarks.

Both resolutions specify an effective date of 12:01 a.m. Aug. 24, 2025, and a six-month probationary period starting from that date.
