Cheyenne Police Department Welcomes New Officer
The Cheyenne Police Department welcomed a new officer to its ranks Monday.
Brady Pierson was sworn in during a ceremony at the Cheyenne Public Safety Center.
According to a department Facebook post, Pierson -- an Army veteran originally from Peoria, Illinois -- recently relocated to Cheyenne from upstate New York where he was stationed at Fort Drum.
“I wanted to become a police officer to continue my service post military,” said Pierson.
“My favorite thing about Cheyenne is the people that live here and the close-knit community," he added.
Pierson is the seventh officer to be sworn in this year. He will now attend the Wyoming Law Enforcement Academy in Douglas.

In many situations, they're the first ones to put their lives on the line to protect their human partners, proving that not all heroes wear capes, some wear fur coats.
