Seymour Officer Promoted

Seymour Police Officer Brian Anderson was promoted to detective, after a unanimous vote by the Board of Police Commissioners Thursday night. 

Anderson will start as detective on Aug. 27.

I think he’s a great choice,” Chief Michael Metzler said after the vote. He’s a class act. He’s a gentleman. He always represents himself well.”

Anderson started working for the Seymour Police Department in 1983, as a supernumerary officer. 

He became full-time in 2003. 

The move is part of a restructuring of the detective division, Metzler said. 

The department will no longer have a student resource officer, and will instead have one extra detective. The department will still have a youth officer.

Metzler said Detective Scott Nihill will become the court liaison and evidence officer as part of the changes. 

Anderson declined to comment on the promotion after the meeting.
