Summary
The council recognized two officers promoted to corporal. Amber Chiaros took the oath of office; the second corporal (referred to in remarks as Corporal Zellanach/Zelenak) was introduced with background on prior service and community outreach responsibilities.
The council paused its agenda for a short swearing‑in ceremony honoring two new corporals in the Lake Stevens Police Department.
Deputy chief introduced the officers and described their backgrounds. Amber Chiaros came forward and took the oath to support the constitutions of the United States and Washington and to faithfully discharge her duties as a Lake Stevens Police Corporal. Staff also introduced a second corporal (referred to in remarks as Corporal Zellanach/Zelenak), who was described as having prior service in another department and four years in the U.S. Marines; staff noted his role as a field‑training officer and recent work with community policing and mentoring new hires.
