As the sun dipped below the horizon on a Wednesday evening, the Caldwell City Hall buzzed with excitement and pride. Families and friends filled the seats, eager to witness a momentous occasion—the promotion and swearing-in ceremony for members of the Caldwell Police Department. Mayor Wagner welcomed attendees, emphasizing the importance of celebrating the accomplishments of local law enforcement.
Captain Rosen took the stage, his voice resonating with enthusiasm as he highlighted the significance of the event. “This is one of the proudest moments we have as a police department,” he declared, acknowledging the dedication of officers who serve the community. The atmosphere was charged with applause as he recognized the support from families, friends, and the community at large.
The ceremony began with the promotion of Sergeant Brett Howell, a nearly 20-year veteran of the force. His wife, Emily, proudly pinned his new badge, marking a significant milestone in his career. Next, Corporal Andrew Thomas, another Caldwell native, was honored for his promotion, surrounded by his family who shared in the joy of the occasion.
The event also welcomed new officers to the Caldwell Police Department. Jaden Worley, a lateral transfer from the LAPD, was greeted with cheers as he stepped forward with his family. Tyler Perkins, a seasoned officer from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office, followed suit, his wife by his side to pin his badge. The ceremony concluded with the introduction of Raymond Stoggin, an entry-level officer and U.S. Navy veteran, who will soon begin his training at the academy.
In addition to the officers, three professional staff members were recognized, including Anthony Strassel, a new community service officer. The ceremony not only celebrated individual achievements but also underscored the collective commitment of the Caldwell Police Department to serve and protect the community.
As the evening wrapped up, the camaraderie and pride among the officers and their families were palpable. The event served as a reminder of the vital role law enforcement plays in ensuring the safety and well-being of Caldwell residents, fostering a sense of unity and support within the community.
