Peapack and Gladstone swears in new police officer recruit Elizabeth Kelly
Summary
The Peapack and Gladstone Borough Council unanimously approved a resolution appointing Elizabeth Kelly as a police officer recruit and administered the oath of office on June 30; Mayor led the ceremony and family members joined for the pinning.
Elizabeth Kelly took the oath of office at the Peapack and Gladstone Borough Council meeting on June 30 after the council approved resolution 117‑26 to appoint her as a police officer recruit. The mayor announced the appointment and called for a roll‑call vote, which was recorded as affirmative by the voting council members. After the vote, Kelly repeated the oath, saying “I, Elizabeth Kelly,” and pledged to “support the Constitution of the United States” and “perform all the duties of a police officer.”
The mayor noted Kelly’s family attended for the pinning, and identified Chief Joseph Kelly of Lower Makersfield Township, Pennsylvania, as participating in the ceremony. The council congratulated Kelly and posed for photographs after the oath. The appointment was recorded as approved on the council’s consent roll; the council did not elaborate further on staffing or training timelines at the meeting.
The council raised no objections and moved on to subsequent agenda items. Residents and staff later continued with the regular public comment and business portions of the meeting.
