Mayor Sarno stated, “Again, I want to thank the residents who have agreed to serve as members of the Police Commission. They are all very well respected, dedicated and accomplished citizens of our city. Some of them have served as members of the Civilian Community Police Hearing Board and have volunteered countless number of hours as members of that board. Police Superintendent Cheryl Clapprood and City Solicitor Judge John Payne are excited to work with the members of our Police Commission and provide them with the resources needed to review and conduct all disciplinary matters for our Springfield Police Department.”
