Noblesville Police Department swears in three new officers

0

Noblesville Chief of Police Kevin Jowitt and Mayor John Ditslear swore in the three newest members of the Noblesville Police Dept. today at City Hall.
Officers Whitney Coffin, Keelie Eads and Corey McGriff took the oath in the council chambers with family, friends, fellow officers and city employees present.

The swearing-in ceremony culminates an applicant selection process, which dates back to November 2014.

On Nov. 6, the three police recruits successfully graduated from the 206th Session of the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy, where they spent the past 15 weeks in Plainfield receiving training in a variety of areas, including criminal and traffic law, firearms, emergency vehicle operations, human behavior, physical tactics and EMS awareness, just to name a few.

Several officers were recipients of awards presented during the graduation ceremony. McGriff graduated with honors, and Coffin received special recognition for achieving the third highest overall academic score for the class. She also served as an assist squad leader.

The officers will now return to the police department to complete approximately two weeks of in-service training prior to entering the Field Training and Evaluation Program, where they will spend another 16 weeks. During this time, officers will be assigned to several field-training officers who will evaluate the performance of the new officers as they learn to apply training from the academy to the day-to-day functions of being a police officer.

At the completion of the Field Training and Evaluation Program, officers will then be certified to work by themselves in a solo-capacity role and will be assigned to a shift within the Patrol Division.

At the end of this process, officers will have accumulated more than 39 weeks (or 1,560 hours) of training prior to being released to work as a police officer for the City of Noblesville.
