TYNGSBOROUGH — Chief Richard D. Howe is pleased to report that the Tyngsborough Police Department swore in two new officers in a ceremony before the Board of Selectmen this week.
Officer Bryan Carter graduated from the Northern Essex Community College Police Academy, where he was class president, earlier this year, and recently completed his 12-week field training program with the Tyngsborough Police Department.
Officer Carter grew up in Hudson, and graduated from Hudson High School in 2013. He earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology in 2020 from University of Massachusetts Boston, where he was also a four-year member of the university’s hockey team.
Officer Ryan McLean graduated in June from the National Guard Massachusetts Police Training Council Police Academy, where he was awarded the Academic Achievement Award.
McLean attended the academy as a self-sponsored cadet, showing his commitment to law enforcement by paying his way through the academy before being hired by a police department. He was hired by Tyngsborough Police earlier this month.
McLean holds a Bachelor’s degree and also serves in the Massachusetts National Guard.
McLean is currently undergoing his 12-week Field Training Program.
“I have no doubt you will successful if you remain professional, and focus on ideals such as integrity, teamwork and accountability for your actions on- and off-duty. You alone are responsible for your actions so you must avoid anything that will tarnish the badge you’ve been entrusted with,” Chief Howe told both officers. “Do not forget how you started your career with focus, energy and the desire to serve. Do not lose this fire, as it is an essential ingredient for you to serve with distinction, and will be a direct reflection on how you’re viewed by the public that we serve.”
