Quincy Police Department hires three officers

QUINCY — Three officers hired by the Quincy Police Department were introduced before Monday’s meeting of the Quincy City Council.

The new officers are Macy Carmean, Parker Shelton and Todd Kelly. Each officer was subject to a background investigation, polygraph test, psychological assessment and medical screening.  

New officers must complete a 14-week basic law enforcement training academy and a 16-week field training program. Upon successfully completing that training, the officers are then certified for solo patrol and are considered manpower.  

Every new Quincy police officer serves a 18-month probationary period.
