Atlantic City has 20 new full-time officers who already have worked the resort's streets.
The men and women were promoted from Special Law Enforcement Officer Class II positions.
SLEOs work as officers, but are paid hourly and can only work a certain number of hours.
"These 20 young men and women are a welcome addition to the Atlantic City Police Department," said Interim Officer in Charge James Sarkos. "I am confident they will have impactful, meaningful and rewarding careers here in our great city."
The ceremony was held at the Atlantic City Convention Center, with Mayor Marty Small administering the oath of office.
The new officers are Saroar Hossain, Henderson Cedano, Zayon Pitts, Marquez Jones, Jonathan Revolus, John Bell, Santino Barbarese, Gretchel Vila, Jennifer Sanchez, Atiqul Islam, Kenlyn Johnson, Keith Jordan, Nickolas Cardani, Julian Cuellar, Anthony Nastasi, Franklin Plasencia, Louis Scarlata, Bryan Victoria-Garcia, Tyke White and Taylor Brooks.
