The UCF Public Safety team grew by two new officers at a swearing-in ceremony attended by family, friends and colleagues.
"We're both excited and proud to welcome these two fine young men to the public safety family," UCF Police Chief Carl Metzger '03MS says. "A lot is required of a law enforcement officer, and they have the courage and the fortitude to choose this career. There aren't many professions where you put your life on the line to protect and defend a perfect stranger."
The new officers will be assigned to the patrol division upon completion of their field-training program, where they will spend several weeks paired with senior officers to gain hands-on experience in the field before graduating to solo patrol.
