The Sheridan Police Department has announced they have sworn in the first officer of the new Reserve Police Officer Program and  the officer is a familiar face.

According to a release from Captain Tom Ringley, Meagan Phillips is the first officer to be sworn into the SPD Reserve Police Officer Program. Officer Phillips served the Sheridan community as a full time officer for approximately three years starting in 2017.
