N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Jamestown Police Department has added some much needed help for the community.

On Monday, January 4th, Police Chief Scott Edinger swore in three new officers at the Jamestown City Hall. Officers Mackenzie Shultz, Matthew Hanson and Matthew Baumgartner are three of five new recruits currently enrolled in the field training program.

Chief Edinger pointed out that with retirements, sick leave and officers departing for other job opportunities, the recently sworn in officers will still leave the department short.

The newly sworn in officers are expected to begin as patrol officers this year.
