Board of Public Safety hires two new Anderson police officers
Summary
The Anderson Board of Public Safety voted Feb. 23 to hire Brent Borum and Brennan Cochran to the Anderson Police Department; both were accepted into the PERF 77 pension fund and were sworn in during the meeting.
The Anderson Board of Public Safety voted on Feb. 23 to hire two new officers for the Anderson Police Department, approving appointments for Brent Borum and Brennan Cochran. The chief presented both applicants and told the board they had completed the department’s hiring process and were accepted into the PERF 77 pension fund.
A board member moved to hire the two applicants; the motion was seconded and the board approved the hires. Following the vote, the city clerk administered the oath of office. The clerk led the pledge, saying in part, “I do solemnly swear...that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the state of Indiana,” language the new officers repeated as they were sworn in.
Why it matters: The hires increase staff capacity for public safety services in Anderson and enroll the officers in the PERF 77 pension fund, which affects the department’s personnel and long-term retirement obligations.
The meeting record shows the board moved and approved the appointments and completed the swearing-in during the same session. No additional details on starting dates, assigned precincts, or personnel file specifics were provided at the meeting.
