Select Board elects Brian Brock chair, assigns liaisons; four police officers sworn in
Summary
At the March 24 meeting the Candia Select Board elected Brian Brock chair, assigned selectmen as liaisons to town departments and committees, and held a swearing-in for four newly hired police officers.
The Candia Select Board elected Select Board member Brian Brock as chair and confirmed a slate of departmental liaisons at its March 24 meeting. The board also held a ceremonial swearing-in for four police officers.
In a motion carried by roll call, the board named Brian Brock chair and selected Patrick (surname not specified in the record) as vice chair. The board then confirmed representatives and alternates for several town departments and committees, including the Budget Committee, Building and Health, Elections, Emergency Management, Fire and Forestry, Highway, Parks and Recreation, Planning Board, Police and Animal Control, Solid Waste, Town Office Building oversight and the Safety Committee. The roll-call responses recorded at the meeting show unanimous support on each nomination from the five board members present (Stephanie Hallmark, Susan Warren, Brian Brock, Patrick, and Boyd).
During the early portion of the meeting the board ceremonially swore in four new officers for the Candia Police Department. The presenters introduced Officer Alec Grenier (from Sandown), Officer Denny (first name not specified), Officer Fisher (first name not specified) and Officer Norris (first name not specified). The police chief administered the law-enforcement oath and led officers in a departmental pledge to the public trust and preservation of human life.

The meeting record shows the board made these nominations in sequence, each followed by a second and a roll-call that listed the five members by name. The minutes for March 10 were also approved earlier in the meeting by motion and unanimous voice vote.
The swearing-in was ceremonial and did not require board action beyond recognition. The police chief administered both the constitutional oath and a departmental oath that included commitments "to never betray my integrity, my character, or the public trust" and to "ensure the safety of my community."
