Two new Carthage police officers were sworn in during the council meeting on Feb. 11.
City leaders introduced the officers as recent academy graduates and the city clerk administered the oath of office. Officer Mary Wagner recited the oath during the ceremony; council members and the mayor offered brief remarks welcoming the new officers.
Why it matters: The additions expand the department’s staffing after recent academy hires. Mayor and council members publicly thanked officers and first responders for their service and willingness to accept risk while serving the community.
The swearing-in included the standard oath to support the U.S. and Missouri constitutions, the city charter and Carthage ordinances and to faithfully perform police duties. The council recessed into business following the ceremony and moved on to committee reports.
