Summary
The Elkton Town Council approved the Personnel/Public Safety Committee’s recommendation to hire John Fry as an Elkton Police Department officer on July 7, 2025, by a recorded 6‑0 vote. The hire followed a closed session discussion and a public safety update about a camera data storage grant.
The Elkton Town Council on July 7 approved the Personnel/Public Safety Committee’s recommendation to hire John Fry as an Elkton Police Department officer. The motion was moved by Vice‑Mayor Rick Workman, seconded by Council member Louis Heidel, and carried on a 6‑0 roll call vote.
The hire followed a closed session the council held under Virginia Code § 2.2‑3711.A.7 earlier in the meeting. Council member Louis Heidel had introduced earlier in the meeting that council would be formally introduced to a new officer at the session; Chief of Police Mike King also noted the department received a $10,000 grant to pay for data storage for camera footage.
No start date or employment terms for the hire were read into the minutes. The minutes record the roll call YEAS as R. Workman, V. Fulginiti, J. Hensley, R. Michael, A. Napotnik and L. Heidel; the mayor’s roll call vote is not shown in the minutes as presented.
Next steps: Personnel paperwork and scheduling are the responsibility of the town’s human resources and police department; the minutes do not specify an effective hire date.
