SAVANNAH, GA (May 3, 2019) – A badge pinning ceremony celebrating the graduation of 20 officers and the appointment of one officer to major brought out dozens of family and friends this afternoon.

Their family and friends joined them on stage, where they were ceremoniously inducted into the department by the pinning on of their official badges.
“As someone pins that badge on for you this afternoon, keep in mind the acronym that I told you, P.R.I.D.E, professionalism, respect, integrity, dedication and excellence,” said Chief Minter to the graduates. To Major Gunther Chief Minter said, “ I want to congratulate you on your hard work, your dedication and also your support. We’re extremely proud to see you promoted at this ceremony.”
