U.S. Marshal Peter Elliott of the Northern Ohio Violent Task Force was in Boardman last week to swear in four Boardman police officers as well as four officers from Youngstown as Deputy U.S. Marshals.
The ceremony took place at the trustees' meeting room at the township government center. Also present were Police Chief Pat Berarducci of Boardman, Youngstown Police Chief Jimmy Hughes of Youngstown and FB Agent John Kane.
Boardman officers taking their oath were Sgt. Glenn Riddle, Officer Jonathan Martin, Officer Richard Romeo and Officer Brian Cionni with K-9 Robby.
"By deputizing these men, each will have the same power as a federal agent and be able to make arrests in every jurisdiction," Chief Berarducci said. "This is an important part of our proactive strength."
The Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force is a collaborative 4-county law enforcement effort spearheaded by the U.S. Marshal's service that is dedicated to the pursuit of violent adult fugitives across Northern Ohio with outstanding federal and state warrants for gun crimes.
The task force was formed to join the nationwide commitment to reduce crime in America by networking existing local programs that target gun crime and providing these programs with additional tools to be successful.
The Mahoning County contact number is 419-936-3832. The 24-hour Tip Line is 1-866-4WANTED (1-866-492-6833).
