Summary
The Pennsauken Township Committee and police leadership swore in Ricardo Sola and Mark Bristow as sergeants in the Pennsauken Police Department during the March 20 meeting; the oath was administered in a public ceremony and committee members thanked officers for public service.
Pennsauken Township officials and police leadership held a public swearing-in at the township committee meeting on March 20, administering the oath of office to two newly promoted sergeants.
Chief Alamo and other command staff presented the promotions and the officers recited the oath of office. "I, Ricardo Sola, do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States," was spoken on the record as part of the oath read during the ceremony. Later the committee repeated the same oath with the other promoted sergeant, Mark Bristow.
Following the oath, Mayor Nicole Roberts and other committee members thanked the officers and department leadership for their service. The mayor said the committee was "equally joyful to be able to have the opportunity to swear in these wonderful young men and sergeant[s]" and thanked them for "putting your lives on the line all the time."
The ceremony included department captains and family members in the chamber for photographs. The swearing-in was ceremonial and did not require a committee vote on the promotions during the meeting record.
