Brownsburg police commission accepts officer resignation, approves conditional hire
Summary
At its March 11 meeting the Brownsburg Police Commission accepted the resignation of Road Officer Jonah Karashenko and approved a conditional offer of employment for Amadou Diallo, subject to standard pre-employment checks and a training reimbursement agreement.
The Brownsburg Police Commission voted March 11 to accept the resignation of road officer Jonah Karashenko, effective March 11, 2025, and to approve a conditional offer of employment for candidate Amadou Diallo.
Karashenko submitted a written resignation dated March 6, 2025, which the commission moved to accept and approved by voice vote. The commission did not record a roll-call tally; the clerk announced the motion carried after members answered “aye.”
The commission then approved a conditional offer to Amadou Diallo. The offer letter presented at the meeting lists the conditions that must be satisfied before employment is final: satisfactory results of a CVSA (truth-verification exam); a medical exam meeting the health and physical requirements of the 1977 Police Officers’ and Firefighters’ Pension and Disability Fund (Indiana Code 36-8-3-201); a negative drug test; a psychological evaluation by a department-selected, state-licensed psychologist; and execution of an employee training agreement requiring reimbursement of training expenses if the officer separates within the first 36 months under specified circumstances.
Diallo, who introduced himself after the vote, said he currently works for the Indianapolis Public Schools Police Department and serves in the Army National Guard. “I want to serve my own community that I live in,” he told the commission, saying he had started a youth wellness program in his religious community and wants to continue work on mental-health response and youth outreach in Brownsburg.
Both motions were made and seconded; each was approved by voice vote with the chair announcing the motion carried. The meeting record does not list who moved or seconded the motions by name.
Clarifying details noted at the meeting: Karashenko’s resignation letter gives March 11, 2025, as his effective date. The conditional offer requires the new hire to meet the 1977 pension-and-disability fund physical standard and to sign a three-year training-repayment agreement (36 months).
The approvals conclude personnel actions on the commission’s agenda for the evening. The department’s recruitment update earlier in the meeting (noted separately in commission reports) described one candidate removed from the hiring process after an unfavorable psychological evaluation and others proceeding through medical and academy scheduling.
