3 join Warren Police Department

WARREN — The city has three new police officers, bringing the total to 65, though it will be about six months before they are ready to work on their own.

They are Johnathan Dina, who previously worked for the Mill Creek Park Police Department; Joseph Wilson, who worked for the Hubbard Police Department; and Nicole Smith, who worked as a corrections officer for the Northeast Ohio Corrections Center in Youngstown.

Enzo Cantalamessa, Warren safety-service director, gave the oath of office to the three new officers this morning in front of city hall, where the police department also displayed the six new Ford Explorer police cars that are going into service.

Cantalamessa said today was historic in that Smith is the first female officer hired into the department in more than 22 years. She worked as a corrections officer about six months.
