Carlisle swears in five new police officers; council honors Bosler Memorial Library’s 125th anniversary

Mayor Sean M. Schultz administered the oath of office to five new Carlisle police officers and presented a proclamation recognizing Bosler Memorial Library’s 125th anniversary during the borough council meeting.

The mayor read brief biographical notes and swore in the officers individually. The officers introduced in the meeting record were Nervin Lubin, Cody Deal, Landon Smith, Cameron Hong and Cade Kratts. Biographical details provided at the ceremony included prior employment, education and community ties: the record notes Lubin previously lived in Miami and speaks Haitian Creole and Spanish; Deal had mechanical and power-plant experience and holds a criminal-justice background; Landon Smith has construction and customer-service experience and attended Lock Haven University; Cameron Hong previously worked for the U.S. Postal Service and cited family ties to military and public-safety service; and Cade Kratts served previously with Susquehanna Township and Pennsylvania State Capitol Police and holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and sociology from King’s College.

Mayor Schultz administered the oath to each officer in open session, and family members were invited to come to the podium during the ceremony.

In the same meeting the council presented a proclamation marking Bosler Memorial Library’s 125th anniversary. The proclamation, read by the mayor, recognized the library’s growth from an original building of about 6,134 square feet to more than 43,000 square feet and noted that the library serves a population the proclamation described as more than 56,000. The mayor and councilors praised the library’s services and volunteers.

No formal vote was required for the oath-taking or the proclamation, which are ceremonial and recorded in the meeting minutes.
