County commissioners witness oath for two new deputies
Summary
The Board of County Commissioners on July 2 witnessed Sheriff-led oaths for two new deputies, John Anderson and reserve deputy Lane Grisman, and commissioners congratulated the appointees. The meeting also handled routine business including minutes and consent items.
The Board of County Commissioners on July 2 held a brief swearing-in ceremony for two new members of the sheriff’s office, after opening the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence.
Sheriff (name not specified) introduced the two recruits—one regular deputy and one reserve deputy—and administered the oath of office. During the oath the new deputy John Anderson recited the words to which the oath adherents responded, including pledges to "support, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America and the constitution of the state of Montana" and to "discharge the duties of my office with fidelity." The sheriff congratulated the new deputies after the oath and invited family photos.
The sheriff said the recruits came to the office after prior training efforts, referencing highway patrol and Laurel reserve training as part of their background. Commissioners and attendees took photographs after the ceremony; a brief aside during those arrangements noted a "licensed structure at Rock Sun College." The ceremony concluded with commissioners thanking participants and welcoming the new deputies.
No formal board vote was required to administer the oath; the meeting moved on to routine business after the ceremony.
