Kissimmee swears in promoted officers and highlights holiday events
Summary
The City honored several police promotions and an employee-of-the-month award, administered oaths of office to new lieutenants, sergeants and corporals, and commissioners highlighted upcoming holiday events including a Festival of Lights parade and menorah lighting.
The meeting opened with promotions and recognitions: police personnel recently promoted to lieutenant, sergeant and corporal ranks were introduced and administered the oath of office.
Chief Chuck Broadway introduced the oath process and Chief McGinley (role: introductions) called promoted officers individually to the podium. Named officers recognized included Lieutenant Lacey Santone, Sergeant Charlie Nieves, Sergeant Pascal Joseph, Sergeant JP Antipara, Corporal Andres Gomez, Corporal Jesus Coronier and Corporal Anthony Demery. Staff and commissioners congratulated the officers and invited them for a group photograph.
The commission also recognized Corporal Detective Andres Gomez as the city’s employee of the month for December; staff said he was nominated by coworkers and selected by a cross-department committee.
In announcements, the city manager reviewed upcoming community events — Wreaths Across America at Rose Veil Cemetery, a Festival of Lights parade and block festival, Plaza Del Sol events with Santa, a menorah lighting before the last December commission meeting, and senior-focused gatherings — and commissioners encouraged resident participation. The city attorney suggested commissioners and attendees wear 'ugly sweaters' at the final meeting of the year.
