At its Nov. 10 meeting the South Russell Village Council confirmed Jordan Feener as a full‑time police officer and promoted Steven Brenner to sergeant; both were sworn in or administered the oath before council.

South Russell — The South Russell Village Council on Nov. 10 unanimously confirmed two personnel actions in the Police Department.

Police Chief recommended the appointment of Jordan Feener to a full‑time police officer position, saying, “Jordan started his career in law enforcement in 2021,” and noting Feener’s prior investigative experience in banking and recent service with university and municipal departments. Council moved and approved the mayor’s appointment by voice vote and the department administered the oath to Feener.

The council also approved the mayor’s recommendation to promote Steven Brenner to sergeant. The chief summarized Brenner’s experience—“34 years” in law enforcement and prior service as an officer in charge and a certified field training officer—and the council confirmed the appointment. Brenner then repeated the oath of office, saying, “I, Steven Brenner, do solemnly swear,” before formally assuming the rank.

Council members did not record objections during the voice votes. The confirmations were routine, and the police department will proceed with onboarding and role changes as discussed.
