Judge Martini administered the oath of office to Jason Monti, who was sworn in as a police sergeant for the Town of Newburgh at the start of the Sept. 8 meeting.
Chief of Police Donald B. Campbell reported department activities and training plans for the coming weeks. He said in-service training for officers will cover CPR, first aid and bloodborne pathogens during the week of Sept. 29 at the Town of Newburgh Volunteer Corp. Chief Campbell also reported the DARE program will begin next month for fifth-grade students as part of routine school safety preparations.
Chief Campbell highlighted the department’s new K9 team: "Our new K9 Bandit and his handler Officer Austin Joyce were featured in the fall edition of Canine Courier," the minutes state, noting recognition for tracking a larceny suspect and an apprehension in a nearby neighborhood.
