Hawthorne council approves multiple police promotions and probationary hires
Summary
Council approved and swore in several police promotions and probationary officers April 15, 2026; motions carried by roll call and each appointee took the oath of office at the meeting.
Hawthorne Borough council on April 15 approved multiple police promotions and probationary hires and administered oaths to the appointees.
During the administrative portion of the meeting Mayor Lane called officers and family members forward as council considered motions to appoint Detective/Lieutenant and sergeant ranks and two probationary officers. Motions were moved and seconded; roll‑call votes recorded “yes” from members present and each appointee repeated the oath of office before the council.
Council also approved the motion to appoint Brian Choy and Nicholas Parlotti as probationary police officers; both were sworn in and photographed with council and family members.
Why it matters: New appointments and promotions fill public‑safety positions and update department staffing that the borough said is important following a challenging winter response season.
What’s next: The new officers will begin duties as directed by police leadership; administration recorded the appointments in the minutes and will complete personnel‑file tasks.
