The Bayonne Police Department held a swearing-in ceremony for six new police officers in the City Council Chambers.  The new officers are Xavier Hogan, Anthony Lucia, Nicholas Cerbone, Justin Walker, Beshoy Nasrallah, and Roberto Bernardo.  City Clerk Madelene Medina administered the oath of office to the group.

Mayor and Public Safety Director Robert Kubert congratulated the new officers on completing their six months of training at the police academy.  He advised them that they would be learning now from practice on the street “day in and day out.”  Mayor Kubert pointed out that they would be making sacrifices by working on holidays and night shifts.  He promised them that each day would bring opportunities “to help people.”  At the same time, he called being a police officer “a challenging position.”  After calling the Bayonne Police Department “a very service-oriented organization,” Mayor Kubert said that people reach out to the Police Department and the Fire Department, “which are called out to solve their problems.”
