The Holyoke Sun • AUGUST 13, 2021 • 5 ◗ In The News STCC celebrates police officers in first-ever pinning ceremony SPRINGFIELD – In a pinning ceremony at Springfield Technical Community College, Police Chief Jose “Joe” Rivera administered the oath of office to two recently hired campus police officers and a longtime officer who was promoted to sergeant. Friends and family of the officers and sergeant on July 23 joined STCC President John B. Cook and college staff, including fellow campus police officers, on the seventh floor of Scibelli Hall for the badge pinning ceremony, the first of its kind at STCC. Rivera said he wanted to formal- ly recognize the sergeant and officers’ achievements after a challenging year. Due to the pandemic, the two newest officers were unable to have a formal ceremony when they were hired.
