A civilian police review board has recommended that two Cleveland officers and two supervisors be disciplined for their roles in a stolen car chase last year that ended when the vehicle struck and killed a 13-year-old pedestrian.
NORTH PROVIDENCE – The North Providence Police Department has promoted three officers, transferred four to new divisions, and welcomed three new officers to the department.
The three new officers, all recent graduates of the Rhode Island Municipal Police Academy, were sworn in during a ceremony on Monday. A more formalized promotion announcement and ceremony will happen once the threat of the pandemic has ended, said Chief Arthur Martins.
Responding to a Breeze request, the three new officers all stated why they wanted to go into law enforcement.
“I want to provide assistance to all residents of the town of North Providence,” said Officer Ryan McCluskie. “I want to be someone they can rely on for public safety. In addition, I want to build rapport with the residents in order to communicate and build relationships.”
