Newest Columbus police officer sworn in

The Columbus Police Department is welcoming its newest officer. Officer Haley Cox was sworn in Monday morning by Mayor Mary Ferdon.

Cox is originally from Shelbyville. She worked for two years as an officer for Shelby County Community Corrections before joining the Indiana Excise Police as an officer.

She has already attended the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy and after several weeks of training with Columbus Police instructors, she will start the field training program before becoming a solo patrol officer.
