Diverse Class of 35 Officers to Began Academy Training on Monday, August 26
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Mayor Stephanie A. Miner and Chief of Police Frank L. Fowler swore in the latest class of 35 police officers during a ceremony held at the Hosmer Auditorium of the Everson Museum. The class, which Miner announced while releasing the City budget in April, will represent one of the most diverse additions to the Syracuse Police Department.
“Swearing in a new class of police officers represents a new chapter we begin with our police department,” said Syracuse Mayor Stephanie A. Miner. “This class is a diverse group of men and women who are excited to serve our community and we are pleased to welcome them to the force.”
“I am looking forward to welcoming these men and women to the police academy to begin their training,” said Chief of Police Frank L. Fowler. “They will serve important functions in our department as they go through training and begin their careers of service.”
The new class of officers will represent one of the most diverse groups to go through training at the police academy. There will be five African-American officers, three Hispanic officers, and six women sworn in as part of this class. The officers range in age from 21 to 33 years of age. Fourteen live in the City of Syracuse, as hiring preference was given to City residents.
