At the start of the Feb. 9 Ogdensburg borough meeting Chief Gordon administered the oath of office to Patrolman Nicholas McWilliams.
"Nick grew up in town; it is nice to have someone that grew up here knows the Borough and people. We are glad to have him here!" Chief Gordon said following the swearing-in.
