Ogdensburg swears in two new patrolmen; both to attend Morris County academy July 8
Summary
Chief Stephen Gordon administered oaths to Patrolman Anthony Giordano and Patrolman Joseph Simone; both will begin the Morris County police academy July 8 and are expected to be active on the road in November, the chief said.
The Borough of Ogdensburg on June 10 formally swore in two new patrol officers, Anthony Giordano and Joseph Simone, as Chief Stephen Gordon administered their oaths of office.
Chief Gordon told the mayor and council that Giordano joins from the Morris County Sheriff's Department Corrections Division, has lived in Ogdensburg for five years and "is more than happy to be in our department." He said Giordano will attend the Morris County academy beginning July 8 and is expected to be "on the road in November." The chief characterized him as "a good fit here."
Chief Gordon said Joseph Simone comes from Wantage and has six years' experience with the Department of Corrections; Simone also will attend the Morris County academy on July 8 and graduate with Giordano in November. Mayor Hutnick and council members welcomed both officers.
Why it matters: the hires increase patrol capacity for the summer and reflect ongoing local recruiting; academy start and anticipated road dates provide a clear timeline for when the officers will be in active service.
Next steps: officers will attend the Morris County law-enforcement academy beginning July 8 and are expected to be road-ready in November, per the chief's remarks.
