You see them out there for every event in town, whether it’s the Autumn Lights Festival, Thunder in the Highlands or a special parade. It’s the township’s special police force that supports the police department when more hands are needed. Mayor Bettina Bieri, second from right, administered the oath of office to the township’s special police officers, with Chief Gene Chiosie, right, there to thank them for the good work they do. From left, the officers are: Thomas McManaman, Charles Kurz, Wayne Morrissey, Arthur O’Leary, Kenneth Hall, Dawn Quigley, Tammy Taylor, Paula Joy and Alice Dobson.
