DECEMBER 18, 2012 PROMOTIONAL CEREMONY
On December 18, 2012, the Herndon Police Department promoted eight (8)
officers in a historical promotional ceremony. The event was the largest one time
promotional ceremony to date in the 133 year history of the Herndon Police Department.
The police department, under the leadership of Chief of Police Colonel Maggie DeBoard,
is preparing for the future by restructuring the corporals career development program
from an appointment to a permanent promotion due in part to pending future retirements
and attrition.
All of the officers underwent a rigorous promotional process to include their
performance evaluations, an assessment center, and a written process. As a result of the
process, two (2) Corporals were promoted to the rank of Sergeant and six (6) officers
were promoted to the rank of Corporal.
Promoted to the rank of Sergeant:
Robert Galpin:
Claudio Saa:
18 years of service
13 years of service
Promoted to the rank of Corporal:
Lawrence Whitmer: 24 years of service
Sean Merritt: 13 years of service
Christopher Farbry: 9 years of service
Justin Dyer: 8 years of service
James Rider: 7 years of service
