Brevard swears in two new police officers and recognizes longtime volunteer service
Summary
Council swore in two new Brevard police officers — Andrea Ellen Thomas and Ryan Nicholas Costa — and presented a certificate of appreciation and mayor's coin to Harry Ted Pogo for 12 years on the Board of Adjustment.
During the March 16 meeting Mayor Maureen Kopaloff and City Clerk Denise Hodsdon administered the oaths of office to two newly hired Brevard police officers. Andrea Ellen Thomas and Ryan Nicholas Costa each completed the statutory oath and a department‑specific oath and received applause from the assembly.
The mayor also recognized long‑time volunteer Harry Ted Pogo for 12 years of service on the Board of Adjustment, presenting a certificate of appreciation and a mayor’s coin and urging more residents to consider volunteer service on city boards.
Other brief recognitions included proclamations from the mayor designating April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month and April as Second Chance Month and remarks from SAFE and the Transylvania‑Henderson Reentry Connection highlighting community resources and upcoming re‑entry training events.
No formal council action was required for the ceremonial items; staff said program partners will continue outreach and training in the community.
