Easton Police Department welcomes two new officers

On Friday, June 16, 2023, Easton Police Department welcomed two new officers to the force: Officer Daniel Reading and Officer Colin Woodard. Officers Reading and Woodard graduated from Wor-Wic Community College’s Eastern Shore Criminal Justice Academy after six months of training, and were sworn in by Mayor Megan Cook the night prior to their commencement ceremony, held at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center in Ocean City, MD.

Officer Reading was elected as class leader during the academy, and was also awarded for expert marksmanship with a pistol, and outstanding physical fitness at the commencement ceremony.

Now that the officers have taken their oath of office, they must successfully complete a three-month Field Training program to satisfy the requirements for full certification as a Maryland law enforcement officer.

The Easton Police Department is excited to have both Officer Reading and Officer Woodard join our team!
