Chief says Mooresville police are fully staffed after recent hires and reserves added
Summary
Chief reported the department is 'full' on sworn staffing, named new hires (Brianna Farrell, Clayton Seifried) and said Tyler McDonough is in the academy; the department also has five reserves, many retired officers.
Mooresville’s police chief told the Police Commission on May 21 that the department is currently fully staffed.
“We are full at this time,” the chief said, and named recent hires and trainees: Brianna Farrell (new hire from Hampton, Virginia), Tyler McDonough (in the academy), and Clayton Seifried (recent academy graduate already working on the street). The chief added the department has five reserves, described as mostly retired law-enforcement professionals.
The chief said the reserves provide a way to evaluate work ethic and potential future full-time hires. Commissioners asked routine questions about firearms qualification and remedial training; the chief said no officers are currently unqualified and described using remedial training and vision checks before considering more severe actions.
The meeting adjourned after setting the next session for June 18, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.
