Goshen board approves two police promotions and accepts retirement of a captain

The Goshen Board of Public Works and Safety on May 28 approved a set of personnel actions in the police department.

The board unanimously approved promotions for Jared Ellison and Mitchell Garrett from probationary patrol officers to patrol officers, both retroactive to May 12, 2026. Each officer completed a 12‑month probationary period, and both stood at the podium to take the oath of office.

The board also accepted the retirement of Captain Curtis Weld (final active duty day listed as May 27, 2026; retirement effective May 28, 2026). Staff summarized Weld’s career, saying he joined the Goshen Police Department in 2013 after nearly eight years with the Napa Police Department and had served as an instructor, sergeant, lieutenant, SWAT team leader and training captain. The board expressed appreciation for Weld’s service and wished him well.

All personnel motions passed unanimously.
