New officers introduced

Four new auxiliary officers were introduced to the Three Rivers City Commission Tuesday.

Chief Tom Bringman said over the past 11 months, the five completed 120 hours of training, which included classroom, defensive tactics and firearms.

The quartet is comprised of Three Rivers High School graduates Brian Kline and Travis Cain, Caledonia native Gary VanderMei and Kalamazoo resident Shawn Taylor.

Bringman praised the auxiliary squad and said without the assistance of its members, the department would not be as effective as it is.
