City of Lawrence appoints two reserve police officers
Summary
The commission approved appointments of Bryce Freiman and Bennett Lushman as City of Lawrence reserve police officers; one appointment includes an effective date of Jan. 23, 2025.
The City of Lawrence approved two appointments to its reserve police force during the meeting.
Lieutenant Scott Evans asked the body to appoint two candidates. He said, “We're requesting that Bryce Freiman be appointed as a City Of Lawrence reserve police officer effective 01/23/2025.” He also requested that “Bennett Bennett Lushin be appointed as a City Of Lawrence reserve police officer effective January” (date not specified in the transcript).
A member moved approval and another seconded; the appointments were approved by voice vote. The transcript does not include a roll-call tally or identify which commissioners moved or seconded the motion.
Why it matters: Reserve officers provide supplemental patrol and event support; formal appointment is required before reserves may act in a law-enforcement capacity.
Details retained from the record: the appointment for Bryce Freiman includes the specified effective date of Jan. 23, 2025. The effective date for Bennett Lushman was reported only as January; the transcript did not specify a day. No additional conditions, background-check status, or pay details were recorded in the meeting transcript.
