Brentwood honors new fire lieutenants and swears in two police officers
Summary
At its Jan. 12 meeting, the commission recognized three new Brentwood Fire lieutenants—Robin Thorpe (first female lieutenant at Brentwood Fire), Kyle Shank and Brandon James—and Chief Colvin administered the police oath to new officers Trayvon Davis and Kyle Riddle.
The Brentwood City Commission recognized promotions in public safety at its Jan. 12 meeting, celebrating three new fire lieutenants and swearing in two new police officers.
The fire chief introduced Robin Thorpe, a Schaumburg, Ill., native and Western Illinois University graduate; Thorpe is the first female to test and promote into a lieutenant position at Brentwood Fire and will be assigned to Engine 54. The chief also introduced Kyle Shank, who joined Brentwood in 2014 and will be assigned to Ladder 53, and Brandon James, a Tennessee native who began in volunteer service and will be assigned to Engine 54.
Chief Colvin administered the oath of office to Trayvon Davis and Kyle Riddle, who repeated the oath to support the U.S. Constitution and obey state and federal law. Colvin described Davis’s background (Florida A&M University, U.S. military communications specialist, recent Tennessee Law Enforcement Training Academy graduate) and noted both officers were doing well in field training.
Commissioners congratulated the officers and thanked human resources and recruiting staff for supporting hires and promotions. Mayor Andrews and the commission recognized family members present for pinning ceremonies and the oath.
Next steps: The newly promoted lieutenants will assume their assigned engine/ladder shifts; the newly sworn officers will continue through field training.
