Oak Park Police Department Promotes Officers, Swears in New Hires

Three probationary police officers were sworn in Sept. 28 at a ceremony at the Oak Park Village Hall, surrounded by friends, family and new colleagues.

Richard Zasiebida, Korry Thomas and Brian Bruesch will be paired for six months with field training officers in a training program, according to the Village of Oak Park. They may be out on their own by March 2015.

Two police officers were also promoted to the rank of sergeant at the ceremony. Michael Greet has been with the Oak Park Police Department for seven years, and Paul Baudo is a 12-year veteran of the force.

“I’m looking forward to the positive impact that these three officers will have on the department and the community in Oak Park,” said police chief Rick Tanksley in a statement.
