Board approves Nathan Silva as acting sergeant on second shift
Summary
The Metropolitan Board of Police Commissioners recommended Nathan Silva as acting sergeant for the second shift; the interim chief recommended the appointment and the board approved the motion by voice vote. Silva’s anticipated move to nights will follow day-shift field training, with an initial night shift cited for Sept. 12.
The Metropolitan Board of Police Commissioners voted to recommend Nathan Silva for appointment as acting sergeant on the department's second shift.
Interim Chief Traylor told the board the department has had Silva under consideration and recommended the promotion, saying, "I think he'll do a good job with it." The board's chair then entertained a motion; Bridal Arthur moved to approve the recommendation and the motion was seconded. The board approved the recommendation by voice vote; individual roll-call tallies were not specified in the transcript.
Traylor said Silva's switch to the night shift would follow day-shift training and that "I believe the date where he would actually switch over to night shift... would be September the 12th." The chief framed the change as part of broader staffing adjustments and said operations would continue during training: "We're still taking calls... We're not going anywhere."
The board did not record a numerical roll-call in the transcript; the action was entered as a formal recommendation and accepted at the meeting. The board plans to continue transition updates at future meetings.
