Police officers Garr and Stratton sworn in at City Council, new housing additions approved, next fiscal year’s budget passed

Surrounded by family and colleagues, two new police officers were sworn in by Special District Judge Pamela Hammers at Monday evening’s City Council meeting. Officers Steven Garr and Tyler Stratton took their Oath of Office, administered by Hammers and witnessed by Chief Mike Reed, vowing, “I will protect the rights, lives, and property of all citizens and uphold the honor of the police profession, with my life, if need be.” Mayor Craig Henderson welcomed and congratulated Garr and Stratton as they received a standing ovation from the audience. 

A proclamation to make June 7th, 2021 Herb Carner day was unanimously approved by the Council. Carner, who has spent 65 years of “dedicated service as a barber to the citizens of Sapulpa and the surrounding community,” was not in attendance, but recently celebrated his remarkable anniversary with a surprise party at his shop hosted by friends and clients.
