MURFREESBORO — MTSU President Sidney A. McPhee, shown at left,
welcomes six newly commissioned police officers to service at the university
July 1 after a special ceremony for the newest members of the MTSU’s Department
of Public Safety. Seated next to McPhee is new officer Sarah L. Hoover; her
colleagues are, standing from left, new officers Mario Hussey, Ryan Ingram,
Jacob Wagner, Ricardo Morales and Jason Hicks and MTSU Police Chief Buddy
Peaster.
The new additions,
who will finish their administrative training in a few weeks, bring MTSU's
number of certified police officers to 40. Five of the new hires will attend
the Tennessee Law Enforcement Training Academy in Donelson for a 10-week Basic
Police School; one officer has already graduated from the academy.
All six also must
complete the MTSU police 16-week field training program. Each will become a
patrol officer and will interact with community members, respond to calls for
assistance and investigate criminal incidents.
