Mayor Kelly A. Yaede swore nine new Hamilton Township Police Officers into service during a ceremony in the council chambers March 8.
Three of the newly installed officers will immediately begin patrol duties, while the remaining six will begin training at the Mercer County Police Academy.
Hamilton’s new officers help maintain the township’s current police force levels by replacing officers who have recently retired.
Hiring new officers is consistent with Yaede’s commitment to law enforcement. Other involvement includes participating in Police COMSTAT meetings, joining an office on patrol duty and attempting to raise awareness for Hamilton’s Neighborhood Watch Program.
