    Four new Riverton Police Department members sworn into office Tuesday night

    Four new Riverton Police Department officers took the oath of office and were sworn in Tuesday night by Mayor Lars Baker at the Riverton City Council meeting.

    RPD Police Chief Eric Murphy introduced the four new members and told the council members that the hires mean RPD is now only one officer short of having what’s considered a “full staff.”

    RPD Officers Christian Amos, Kingston Cole, Aaron Kaffrey; and RPD Dispatcher Andrew Partipilo were all introduced along with family members.
