Council approves emergency hire for police department recruit Montre Mason
Summary

The New Albany City Council approved an emergency hire for the police department after the police chief reported a time‑sensitive hiring need.
The police chief told the council that a PT test deadline for the academy required prompt action and that the candidate, Montre Mason, had passed the PT test with a score reported as 92%. The chief said Mason was born in Ripley and has lived in New Albany for many years and described him as a strong candidate.
