Clayton Council swears in multiple new police and fire personnel, names Paul Nabelle as chief

Mayor (unnamed) opened the meeting and the council conducted a multi-person swearing-in that included new police officers and firefighters and the appointment of a police chief. Chief Nabelle and department leaders introduced each candidate’s background before they took the oath to support the constitutions and the codified ordinances of the City of Clayton.

The council and police leadership presented Officer Eric Santos, who described his immigration and Marine Corps service, and Brandon Morgan, both of whom were sworn in as Clayton police officers. Sergeant Ashley Schuman and Lieutenant Sean Schutte were introduced and sworn in; department remarks noted training credentials and prior roles. Paul Nabelle took the oath to serve as chief of police for the city; council members offered congratulations following his swearing.

Chief Garver then introduced new fire department hires. Andrew Goss was presented as a firefighter/paramedic with 14 years of experience and multiple technical certifications. Amanda Michael (introduced as Amanda/Anna Michael in the record) and Bridal Williams (also recorded as Bryant/Bridal Williams) were sworn in as paramedic/fire personnel; leaders praised their training and local experience. Council and department officials encouraged community support and noted that these additions return or maintain staffing levels.

Council members and the mayor publicly congratulated the new hires and thanked both departments for service and recruitment work. The swearing-in sequence concluded before the council moved to business items.
