Everett swears in six new police officers
Summary
Chief Goetz introduced and the council confirmed six new Everett Police Department officers; the council unanimously approved the appointments and the officers took the oath of office.
The Everett City Council on June 3 confirmed and swore in six new Everett Police Department officers following introductions by Police Chief Goetz. The officers named in the record include Victor Pio, Kevin Bauer, Brandon Bullock, Jay (recorded as Jay/Jake in parts of the transcript), Ryan Vidal and Israel Hoida.
Chief Goetz described each new officer’s background — military service, local ties, academy graduation on June 2 — and praised their professionalism and commitment to public service. Council moved and seconded the appointments; the clerk conducted a roll-call vote and the council recorded affirmative votes from the seven members present, and the officers then took the oath administered at the meeting.
Council members congratulated the officers and noted the department’s continuing efforts to reduce vacancy levels. Chief Goetz said staffing is "ebb and flow" and noted recent retirements; he and council members discussed staffing targets going forward.
