Judge Chaffin administered the oath of office to the police officer appointees listed on the agenda during the council's opening proceedings Nov. 3.

The mayor announced that Judge Chaffin would administer the oath to the named appointees. The ceremony was conducted near the start of the meeting; the record indicates the oath language was recited as part of the standard ceremony and the meeting attendees congratulated the newly appointed officers afterward. The council recorded the event on the minutes and proceeded with the regular agenda.

The agenda lists the appointees as John Tice and Shakia Favors and indicates the oath was administered in open session. The meeting transcript includes the oath recital but does not list additional personnel details such as starting dates, assigned division, or badge numbers for the appointees; those administrative details are maintained by the police department and city human resources.
