011newly appointed as prosecutors so i have been working through lunch a lot more than i typically used to and as i started eating my lunch today i was like what was i thinking wearing this white suit that i'm going to have to have on all day and not have time to go home and so it is a good evening because i'm not here in front of you today having to explain away a coffee ketchup or cranberry juice stain so it's all uphill from here so welcome to all of our newly hired officers as well as our career officers their family friends and loved ones who are here to encourage and celebrate them today as i walked in i saw i think gorman and dixon and they almost sold out the whole crowd with just these
012first two rows right here when i saw the reserve seats so welcome to everyone's family and friends and loved ones who are here to celebrate with them today it is my sincere pleasure to welcome some and to be a witness to others who are reaffirming their commitment to law enforcement as they've demonstrated the skill integrity and work ethic to move up the ranks i think we have some new officers sergeants lieutenants a couple of captains as well as a deputy chief and today is the beginning of a new chapter for the most challenging yet rewarding journey of their lives as a career assistant prosecutor for over 20 years and now county prosecutor i know firsthand the importance of having good quality officers with the desire to protect and serve the community and i know that
013term is a little cliche i know we hear it all the time but i really want them to focus on that phrase and take it seriously as you navigate through your law enforcement careers what that means today and what that job demands of you has grown exponentially throughout the years you're no longer simply expected to get the bad guys off the street but you're also expected to really truly serve your communities sometimes to be a mentor to at-risk youth be a mediator of disputes and even to de-escalate them a little mental health expertise wouldn't hurt if you have it substance abuse disorder advocates and even administer narcan and literally bring folks back to life among many other professional demands that will be placed upon you the people you serve will be looking to you to
014do all of that well in addition to crime fighting this is your mission no pressure right and why is it so important for you to do this job well three brief reasons and i'll be on my way one it's important for you to do your job well because your character and reputation will precede you everywhere you go in this profession on the street in the community off the street within your office with your colleagues superiors as well as with prosecutors and judges be more concerned with your character and all things regarding your reputation are going to fall in place your character is who you really are when no one is looking or listening be a warrior when warranted but otherwise be humble be consistent disciplined and use wisdom and be accountable for your actions and
015choices and trust me you want to have that reputation when the prosecutor gets that report or that search warrant or that cdw and sees your name and we know from there it's going to be smooth sailing and accurate read with all of the information we need to move forward and when you show up for grand jury testimony notwithstanding the fact that we might walk you all way through it with leading questions for that purpose only but we appreciate when you've thoroughly reviewed your reports and are prepared to answer any factual questions of us or from the individuals in the grand jury be that person that officer that when the judge says madam prosecutor call your next witness he already expects that he will hear clear competent and credible testimony you could never please all of
016the people all the time and they'll always be naysayers some people just can't help it but establishing and maintaining your character is what will carry you through the day second as a law enforcement community we are all an integral part of making some of the most important decisions that affect the lives of our residents whether they're suspects defendants victims or family members from any of those categories our interactions with them can literally reverberate through generations those early interactions you have with young people at national night out coffee with a cop and simple similar outreach programs form the trust that residents will have with you good relationships with the community makes your job a lot easier this isn't just a job this should be your calling we no longer need you to see yourself as warriors
017unless you know you're walking into a war zone and that may actually be the case sometimes we need you to be guardians and part of the community you cannot police a community you're not part of we are the professionals and are held to a higher standard if you can uphold those standards this is not the place for you high standards are what i'll expect and i'm sure you will all rise to the occasion as you have great leadership in the ranks who will set wonderful examples for you third and finally you are the gatekeepers of justice you're literally the boots on the ground you witness most violations first and are the ones to decide how to proceed whether someone enters into the criminal justice system so you need emotional intelligence and wisdom you'll be making
018split-second decisions deciding whether the charge whether to engage in a pursuit what the appropriate level of force should be if it's necessary at all and we as prosecutors rely on your judgment and expertise to acquire the final phase of justice in whatever form that comes your job won't be easy but you know that and you're still here my teenager is a huge marvel fan for many many years so i've seen all the marvel movies once or twice or five or six or sometimes seven and eight times and so i know that the police officer who puts his life on the line with no superpowers no x-ray vision or superhuman strength no ability to fly or deflect bullets has far more virtue than any superhero i've ever seen you are our modern day heroes real life
019heroes you have an abundance of power and discretion so as the saying goes with great power comes great responsibility use your power wisely congratulations to you all god bless and stay safe out there [Applause] thank you prosecutor bradshaw please welcome chief miller for a message on behalf of the police department [Applause] all right good evening just before i get started one thing i want to point out i don't know if you all realize but in the last week it's been a pretty exciting time here in eve sham we had a group of 10 year old kids go and win the little league world series they're here with us tonight to support one of their coaches captain jason seaton so we can give them a round of applause congratulations guys it won't be the last time
020we celebrate with him all right good evening thank you all for joining us tonight to celebrate the individuals up here on stage the success of any police department is built upon who the agency hires and promotes this group defines our profession there are people who possess higher levels of character and talent they are the key components for all our future success i could not be more proud of this group they are why our agency is positioned at the pinnacle of the profession shortly after the beginning of the new year the eushan police department slowly began making incremental changes all positioning our agency for tonight and the agency's future version of itself through many hours of work we have instituted highly competitive hiring and promotional processes sitting before you is the cream of the crop in
021the policing profession this is the largest swearing-in ceremony to ever take place in the 56-year history of this great agency i want to thank township manager robert corrales mayor jackie veazey and all the members of council for without you this is not possible your support is why we are here tonight from the bottom of my heart thank you tonight these men and women will take their oaths of office some will take an off for the first time others will take an oath one among many over their decades-long careers each of these oaths will contain an allegiance to a constitution through this allegiance they are swearing to live by and defend a vision of freedom conceived nearly 250 years ago by rebels who understood the need for a strong government however one that was tempered by
022individual rights under our constitution individual lights are not guaranteed by government but protected by it these men and women will be guided by our forefathers policing a complex world our forefathers could not have conceived they will balance the complexities of law enforcement against the fundamental rights guaranteed through the constitution the vision of the constitution will live through the thoughts and actions of these men and women their output is the freedom we enjoy and the safety that will eloquently will provide they will end their oath with so help me god this will not be the last time they call upon god for support and strength tonight these words demonstrate the serious significance of the oath they are pledging in front of all of you when responding to a choking child turning blue they will respond with
023so help me god when they knock on the door to deliver news that a family member has been killed so help me god when they are faced with violence beyond our value of life so help me god when they see grief and pain in others in situations they can't fix again so help me god when the visions are locked in their head as they're lying in bed trying to sleep so help me god they will be in the field seeing and doing things most will never be called upon to see and do i ask so help them god there's one item missing from the oath they'll take tonight it's a very important item that's the support that they need from each of you especially from the loved ones those sitting up here having their lives
024policing is a family profession your unconditional love and support is what they need to endure this profession policing is the greatest profession in the world however it is far from an easy one so i ask each of you tonight to end your loved one's oath with together we got this thank you for allowing me to serve with each of you i have been saying many times over our future is bright these men and women along with all those serving in eastham police department are the reason why tonight we thank you and congratulate each of you you earned this now let us celebrate you the esham police department and the policing profession let us end tonight with us leaving and returning to something greater than ourselves thank you chief miller we will now begin the swearing-in
