15 <br />compassion will leave a void in the department. Officer Nerison has indicated he is <br />joining the Airport Police Department due to the department’s size which offers <br />additional advancement opportunities along with its homeland security mission. <br /> <br />Anthony Semanko has accepted the final offer from the City to become a New Brighton <br />Police Officer. His start date was October 16th. Anthony comes to us from the City of <br />Anoka where he served as a Community Service Officer and comes highly recommended <br />from the Anoka City Chief. He will undergo 3 days of in-house training prior to his <br />training on Patrol. He will then spend the next 4 months being evaluated and trained to <br />become a New Brighton Police Officer. His hiring will fill the position vacated by Nick <br />Benedict who left the agency during the Field Training Program 5 months ago. With the <br />resignation of Officer Nerison and the start date of Anthony, Public Safety will continue <br />to be short one officer. <br /> <br />Public Safety collected 101 pounds of unused prescription medications as New Brighton <br />was listed as a collection point for this Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) <br />publicized effort. The secure drop-box in the Public Safety Center lobby had to be <br />emptied several times to keep pace with all of the medications disposed of during the <br />campaign. As a reminder, the lobby is conveniently open 24/7 for residents to drop-off <br />unused prescription medications on any day of the year at any time. <br />
