Bridgeport council approves hire and administers oath to patrol officer Noah Clemons

Bridgeport Borough Council voted June 24 to hire Noah Clemons as a full‑time patrol officer effective June 27, 2025, and Clemons took the oath of office at the meeting.

The hire, introduced for council consideration at the start of the business portion of the meeting, passed with no recorded opposition. Clemons will be assigned to the patrol division of the Bridgeport Police Department.

Chief (unnamed in transcript) told the council that Clemons is “25 years of age,” graduated from the Montgomery County Police Academy in February, earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Penn State in 2022 and an associate of science from Montgomery County Community College. The chief said Clemons “received accommodation from Norristown PD for response related to a shooting investigation in February” and received “the accommodation of heroism for saving a woman at the Bridgeport Suites Fire on 02/22/2025.”

At the meeting Clemons repeated the oath of office. His words included: “I, Noah Clemons, do solemnly swear that I will support, obey, and defend the Constitution of The United States and the Constitution of this Commonwealth, and that I will discharge the duties of my office with fidelity.”

Council members offered congratulations during the vote and when the oath was administered. The hiring item was presented during the formal agenda and recorded as approved; the transcript shows no council member opposing the motion.

The council did not specify in the meeting record which council member moved or seconded the motion beyond the verbal exchanges captured on the record, and the minutes should be checked for the formal mover/second names and the numeric vote tally.
