New police chief sworn in amid community excitement

In a recent city council meeting, the community gathered to witness the swearing-in ceremony of the new police chief, James. The event was marked by heartfelt remarks from city officials, including a speech by Matt, who emphasized the significance of the police badge as a symbol of protection, authority, and commitment to service.

During the ceremony, the new chief took the oath of office, pledging to serve the community faithfully and to uphold the law. The atmosphere was celebratory, with attendees expressing their support for the new leadership in the police department.

Following the swearing-in, the council addressed public matters, including the approval of Resolution Number 8, which proposes the continuation of a 2% lodging tax in Park County.
