Two new Columbus police officers sworn to duty

Columbus police are welcoming two new officers to the force.

According to the department, Mayor Mary Ferdon swore in two new officers this morning: Luis Colon Santiago and Devin Fearrin.

Santiago is originally from Puerto Rico and a graduate of Columbus North High School. He served in the U.S. Marines Corps for eight years and after his discharge, worked as a contractor in Germany.

Fearrin is originally from Lebanon, and served in the Army National Guard as a military police officer. He earned a bachelors degree from Indiana State University. Most recently, he worked as a special deputy in the Boone County Sheriff’s Department.

The two officers will now start their training with Columbus police instructors, before attending the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy in August.
