ATLANTIC CITY — The city police department recently promoted more than dozen part-time police officers to full-time positions.
Fourteen Special Law Enforcement Class II officers were elevated to full-time in two separate ceremonies, according to a release from city police. They were sworn in at the Emergency Operations Center at the Clayton G. Graham Public Safety Building; Mayor Marty Small Sr. administered the oath of office.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, officers were not able to have their loved ones present during the ceremonies, police said, but the ceremonies were broadcast live so family and friends could watch.
Seven of the officers are military veterans, who were hired through a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Services, police said.
The new officers, who will be assigned to the department’s Operations Division, include:
- Stanley Scutro
- Tasha Cannon
- Courtney Campbell
- Randy Rodriguez
- William Luengas-Gonzalez
- Adrian Nunez-Santos
- Ahmed Waqar
- Jonathan Figueroa
- Matthew Talavera
- Latray Butcher
- Ryan Waddell
- Enrique Badillo
- Wen You
- Jose Zamorano-Zelidon
