Canby swears in new police officer; brief ceremony and remarks
Summary
A new Canby police officer recited the oath Aug. 5; the chief introduced the officer’s background and family participated in a badge-pinning ceremony. The transcript contains inconsistent naming in staff remarks, which council/staff may clarify in minutes.
The council paused regular business Aug. 5 to swear in a newly hired police officer. During a short ceremony, the presiding official invited the chief to introduce the officer and family; the officer recited the oath of office and thanked those in attendance.
When asked to state his name, the officer said, "I, Steven Casada," and he repeated the oath with the administering official. The chief delivered background comments about the officer's training and prior correctional facility experience and invited the officer’s spouse to pin the badge. Council and the chief congratulated the officer and noted a reception at the police department.
Note: the meeting transcript also references the surname "Quezada" in the staff introduction and "Taylor" as a family member who participated in pinning the badge. The transcript contains those references in adjacent sections; the minutes should be checked to reconcile staff-introduction text with the sworn name recorded on the oath.
