Board swears in new police officer and recognizes employee and local karate champions
Summary
The board administered an oath to a newly appointed police officer and recognized an officer for a statewide SRO honor, and it publicly acknowledged three local karate competitors for national and international achievements.
At the July 15 meeting the Board of Public Works and Safety swore in a new Crown Point Police Department officer and recognized both an officer honored at the state level and three local youth for athletic achievements.
Jim Crook introduced the department’s newest member. The person taking the oath identified themselves as "Tony Faisal" and recited the oath to support the U.S. and Indiana constitutions and to discharge duties as a Crown Point Police Department officer. "I just appreciate the opportunity, and I'm excited to get started," the officer said after the swearing-in.
Earlier, S1 recognized Brandon for being named the state of Indiana SRO officer of the year; Brandon thanked the department and school community for support. The board also lifted up three Crown Point karate athletes — Chris (Pan American champion, U21 gold medalist), Haley (AAU national team competitor returning with multiple medals) and McKenna (ranked No. 1 in her U.S. division and participant at the university world championships) — and invited families forward for photographs and acknowledgment.
The board and the city’s communications director indicated they would publicize the recognitions in city channels.
