Edgewood Borough Council Honors Officers

Edgewood Council Monday honored two police officers for their work and dedication to the borough.

Mayor Mal Hellett announced that Sgt. Susan Kaskie was being honored for 10 years of service, while Officer Keith Nugent also received commendation from council for five years of work on the police force.

Kaskie was not able to attend the meeting Monday night. Edgewood Police Chief Robert Payne accepted the honor on her behalf.

“She appreciated this so thank you on behalf of Susan Kaskie,” Payne said.

Nugent attended with his wife and children, thanking council for recognizing his work with borough police.

“This job goes unnoticed a lot of the time and it’s a thankless job so thank you. This is my support group right here,” he said of his family.
