The Laconia Police Commission met at 2:00 p.m. and administered the oath of office to Ryan F. LeClaire, who was introduced by Detective Sergeant Ben Black and attended by family members. An official administered the oath and LeClaire signed the required paperwork acknowledging he would uphold the U.S. Constitution, New Hampshire law and city ordinances.

The ceremony included brief remarks about LeClaire's background: he graduated from the Massachusetts Maritime Academy with a bachelor's degree in Emergency Management and has received multiple academic awards. Mayor Charlie St. Clair and City Clerk Katie Gargano were recognized in the meeting before the swearing‑in.

Following the oath, the commission returned to routine business. Chief Canfield moved to accept the minutes as written; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously by the two commissioners present. The meeting adjourned at 2:25 p.m.
