MONROE - Police Chief Fred Kelley welcomed two new police officers during Monroe Common Council proceedings Tuesday as one officer retired after more than three decades on the force. City Clerk Carol Stamm swore in the new officers, Jeremy Larson and Benjamin Preston, and officially welcomed the new recruits to the force even though both had been working for the city for the "last couple of weeks," Kelley said. Stamm provided the officers with certificates.
