Five new emergency personnel were sworn into service at the Erlanger City Council meeting on July 1.

Archie Betsy administered oaths for new hires including Paramedic Samson and four firefighter EMTs. Robert Horton recited his oath on the council floor: "I, Robert Horton, do solemnly swear to do my duty as a firefighter EMT for the city of Erlanger to the best of my ability, to serve my commanding officers with respect and integrity, to serve the citizens of the city of Erlanger with compassion, courage, and integrity, and to uphold the laws and constitutions of The United States Of America, the Commonwealth Of Kentucky, and the city of Erlanger."

The council also named firefighter EMTs Parton, Jacoby, Di and Shoemaker during the oath sequence. Mayor Feddy and other council members congratulated the newly sworn personnel after each oath. Assistant Chief Foley was noted as having reported that no members of the public had signed up for public comment that evening.

The oaths invoked service to the federal and state constitutions and to the city. The meeting transcript records the oath language and the names of the new hires but does not disclose additional biographical or hiring-process details.
