FRANKLIN, Ind. — Three prospective officers for the Franklin Police Department have moved one step closer to joining the force after clearing major local hiring hurdles this month.
During the City of Franklin Police Merit Commission meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 10, a department representative delivered an update on the trio of new hires as part of the Chief’s Report.
At the commission’s previous meeting, only two of the three candidates had completed the initial public stages of the hiring process. All three applicants have now cleared their required medical evaluations and received approval from the local pension board.
The candidates are now awaiting final approval from the Indiana state pension board before officially joining the department.
Commissioners John "Doc" Shafer, Les Tabeling, and Joshua Shanafelt were present for the brief 10-minute session, while Commissioner Joe Allen was absent.
