The Wyoming City Council approved the appointment of Matthew Pavlott to the rank of police sergeant to fill a vacancy created by the retirement of Sgt. Brian Rod. Police leadership described Pavlott as a 13-year department veteran (served until 2021), an FTO and detective who completed the department’s written exercise, panel interview, and a community interview with positive feedback, and who has an active post license.

Chief (speaker 10) told the council Pavlott had run a landscape and excavation business after leaving law enforcement and maintained continuing education to keep his license current. The chief requested appointment at $48.23 per hour and explained staff was able to expedite the start date to Nov. 19 rather than Dec. 1.

Council members praised Pavlott’s experience and supported the appointment. A motion to hire Pavlott was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. Council congratulated him and noted his quick reintegration into the department.
