The North Bay Police Service is welcoming two new police officers.

Both are former Widdifield students and Canadore grads.

Constable Braeden Ransom (above) and Constable Ryan Robertson (below) were both sworn Monday morning.

Ransom began his career as a security guard and a security shift supervisor with the North Bay Regional Health Centre, and as an asset protection guard with Detour Lake Gold Corporation.

Robertson took part in the city police mentorship program, also holds a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from Nipissing University and was hired in March 2013 as a special constable.

Robertson received his police badge from his father Tom , a current city police officer.

He says for him to be able to that it’s nice.

He says his dad was with him every step of the way.

Ransom’s dad worked in forensics at city police for over a quarter of century and he wanted to continue in that tradition.

Ransom says as he grew up he learned more about what actually was involved in policing,

He says he is excited to do the job.
