Board promotes two officers following personnel executive session
Summary
After an executive session on personnel, the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners unanimously promoted Police Sergeant Joseph C. Pomilia to police lieutenant and Police Officer Dennis Murrin III to police sergeant.
The Board of Fire and Police Commissioners unanimously promoted two officers at its Jan. 7, 2026 meeting at the Lansing Municipal Center. Following an executive session on personnel, the board elevated Police Sergeant Joseph C. Pomilia to the rank of police lieutenant and Police Officer Dennis Murrin III to police sergeant.
The board noted the retirement of Police Lieutenant Greg Schoon on Dec. 12, 2025 and reviewed officer files in executive session. Commissioner Vitiritti moved, seconded by Commissioner Klausner, to promote Joseph C. Pomilia to police lieutenant; the motion carried by unanimous voice vote. Commissioner Klausner then moved, seconded by Commissioner Barajas, to promote Dennis Murrin III to police sergeant; that motion also carried unanimously. No roll-call tallies were recorded beyond the unanimous voice votes noted in the minutes.
The actions finalize internal staffing changes initiated after Lieutenant Schoon’s retirement; the minutes list the promotions as formal board actions taken immediately after the executive session.
