Seven new officers have been sworn in to the City of Erie Police Department today. This class is part of the continuous effort by the Erie Police Department to recruit those who directly represent those in the community, allowing diversity within the department. Today Erie Police welcomed in the first Vietnamese officer and two more female officers.

The newest additions include:
Nicole Barley
Cody Bukowski
Alexander Golfieri
Jonathan Harvey
Duc Pham
