Roseland's governing body approved the appointment of a new patrol officer and administered the oath of office at its Jan. 21 meeting.
Resolution 40-22, appointing Brandon (surname unclear in the transcript) to the Roseland Police Department, was moved and approved by the council before the formal swearing-in. The council then administered the oath, which included the officer's pledge "to faithfully and impartially and justly perform all the duties of police officer" and not to use the office to grant preferential treatment.
Police Director (name not provided in the transcript) welcomed the officer and thanked Mayor Spango and the council for their support, saying the backing of the mayor and council "is very important" and noting the importance of family support and officer mental health as officers take work home with them. The director also said the new officer brings prior experience from another agency.
The ceremony included remarks thanking the officer's family and police colleagues; council members congratulated the new officer before returning to the regular agenda.
