Ranlo swears in new officers, honors long‑serving staff and hears police report
Summary
Ranlo swore in at least two new police officers, recognized public‑works and police employees for years of service, and the police chief reported enforcement successes in August; the council acknowledged staff departures and special events.
The Ranlo council began its Sept. 12 meeting with a swearing‑in ceremony for newly appointed police officers. Town Manager Hansen administered the oath to Eric Scott Woods Jr. and a second officer, each swearing to support federal and state constitutions and to perform duties impartially.
The council recognized Charles Parker (five years of service) and Captain Dowd (20 years), with Jason Green (public works director) introducing Parker’s contributions to water‑meter modernization and lead‑and‑copper survey efforts. The manager thanked Jason Green for his service as he prepares to move to Mount Holly.
In the police report, the chief (referred to as 'Cap') highlighted seizures and enforcement activity for August, noting citations and removed illegal items; the manager and council praised the department’s work. The meeting packet included routine monthly financial pages and the manager summarized that the town is roughly 18.13% through the fiscal year with about 81% remaining.
The council applauded staff service and asked that logistics for new name badges and council shirts be handled by staff.
