Council names three to Fire & Police Civil Service Board
Summary
After hearing from applicants and council discussion about experience and objectivity, the council appointed Charles Deliberto, Kyle Johnson and Stanley Campbell to three-year terms on the Hammond Municipal Fire and Police Civil Service Board.
The Hammond City Council confirmed appointments to the Hammond Municipal Fire and Police Civil Service Board, filling two current vacancies and restoring the board to full membership.
Applicants who spoke included Stanley Campbell, who detailed military service and civic leadership; Kyle Johnson, a current board member seeking reappointment; Mike DuBois, who described prior service and corporate experience; and Charles Deliberto, a retired police officer with more than 30 years of local service. Each candidate summarized relevant experience and answered council questions about prior civil-service exposure and impartiality.
During nominations and roll-call votes, the council appointed Charles Deliberto and Kyle Johnson by majority vote; Stanley Campbell was also appointed following discussion and a mixed roll call. Council members emphasized the learning curve for new members and urged objectivity in hearings that affect personnel decisions.
Staff noted the board’s duties under state law to adopt rules, maintain eligibility lists, and oversee hearings and appeals related to fire and police personnel. Appointees will serve three-year terms ending in August 2028 and will join the board to resume its routine business.
