Boonton swears in new officer and promotes two lieutenants at council meeting
Summary
Sheriff Gannon administered oaths of office to new and promoted police personnel; Christian G. Rojas was sworn as a municipal police officer, and Daniel Mundino and Leo Colombo took oaths noted as promotions to lieutenant.
Sheriff Gannon administered oaths of office to multiple officers during the Boonton Town Council meeting. Christian G. Rojas repeated the oath and was congratulated as a municipal police officer. Daniel Mundino and Leo Colombo each repeated the oath administered by the sheriff and were congratulated on promotions to lieutenant.
Brian Durney, public-safety director, and other officials praised the department and noted the competitive nature of promotion and academy selection processes. Council members and the mayor recognized the officers and encouraged family members and friends in attendance to celebrate the promotions.
Why it matters: Promotions and new hires affect the department's chain of command and personnel capacity; the police committee earlier said it interviewed strong candidates for a lieutenant vacancy.
What happens next: Promotions were recognized on the record; personnel actions that required resolutions were included on the consent agenda and were recorded as approved earlier in the meeting.
