Wilmington City Council swears in two new patrol officers
Summary
Council administration swore in two newly hired patrol officers, who took the oath and were congratulated by council leadership; no council vote accompanied the swearing.
The Wilmington City Council administration swore in two new patrol officers during the meeting: Gracie Boggs and Stephen Meadows.
The swearing ceremony took place early in the meeting. An administration official led each officer through the oath of office; Gracie Boggs repeated, “I, Gracie Boggs, do solemnly swear that I will support the constitution of the state of Ohio and the ordinances of the City of Wilmington, Ohio,” and Stephen Meadows repeated a substantially identical oath.
The council president and other members congratulated the officers after the oath. The council recorded the event on the meeting minutes but took no legislative action tied to the swearing. Council members described the additions as bolstering a “young” police force during brief remarks.
The ceremony closed without debate or a vote related to the hires; the meeting proceeded to other agenda items.
