The City of Newcastle welcomed a new police officer and honored another for 25 years of service during the City Council’s August 10 regular meeting.
Mayor Karl Nail administered the oath of office to Officer Daniel Thompson, who graduated just days before from the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEET) Basic Academy at East Central University in Ada. The mayor also recognized Sergeant David Bristol for 25 years of service to the City of Newcastle.
Thompson was joined at the meeting by family members and fellow Newcastle officers as he took his oath and officially began his service with the Newcastle Police Department.
