On Wednesday, the Danville Police Department swore in 10 officers during a ceremony at police headquarters. Those officers, Jacob Adkins, Matthew Davis, Tristyn Hall, Evan Hawker, Joshua Gorrera, Jeremy Lovelace, Jayquan Morton, Isaac Shifflett, Candace Shively, and Hugh Wyatt, Jr. all raised their right hand to take the oath of office, and the oath of honor.

Each new officer was called on stage to be presented with the badge and pinned by a family member. The Danville Police Department now has 125 of 130 officer positions filled.

On Friday, the Department’s new officers will graduate from the Piedmont Regional Criminal Justice Training Academy.
