AGENDA #: 7B
PREPARED BY: Bili O'Rourke
PRESENTED BY: Bill O'Rourke
AGENDA ITEM: INTRODUCTION AND OATH OF OFFICER FOR OFFICER BRYCE
SCHUENKE
The purpose of this agenda item is to introduce our newest officer, Bryce
Schuenke to the Council and for him to be take the oath of office as a Po-
lice Officer for the City of Prior Lake.
Bryce graduated from Faribault High School and attended St. Cloud State
University, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Jus-
tice and a Master of Science degree in Public Safety Executive Leader-
ship.
Prior to joining the Prior Lake Police Department and beginning his field
training program in August, Officer Schuenke worked for the Dakota
County Sheriff's Department for over three years and as a part-time officer
for the Elko-New Market Police Department since November of 2011.
Bryce is a certified Drug Recognition Expert, trained to help identify what
substances and impaired driver may be under. He has already applied
that knowledge and training in assisting Prior Lake cases, and he has ap-
plied to attend an upcoming Standard Field Sobriety Testing and Drug
Recognition Instructor Course. If selected, that certification will work to
the benefit of all the agencies in Scott County for officer training.
OATH OF OFFICE
I do solemnly swear
That I will support
The Constitution of the United States,
The Constitution and the Laws
of the State of Minnesota,
And the Ordinances of the City of Prior Lake,
And that I will faithfully perform
And discharge the duties of Police Officer.
I will never betray my badge, my integrity,
My character or the public trust.
I will always have the courage to hold myself
And others accountable for our actions,
So help me God.
