The Trenton City Council opened its March 23 meeting with ceremonial recognitions, swearing in probationary Firefighter Nick Brogan, awarding promotions and administering the oath to a newly hired police officer.
Deputy Chief Martiniak introduced Firefighter Nick Brogan and said Brogan "successfully completed his probationary period at the Trenton Fire Department," calling probation one of the most demanding phases of a firefighter’s career and praising Brogan’s "dedication, integrity, teamwork, and a commitment to serving our community." Brogan’s father pinned his badge, and Brogan repeated the department oath.
