The Victoria Police Department swore in six new officers during a Jan. 8 ceremony at the Victoria Community Center annex. Shown from left are officers Zechariah Vela, Ryan Ramos, Mia Gallegos, James Swisher, Trenton Ballard and Tristan Smith. The new officers will begin a 16-week field training program alongside field training officers. After successfully completing this program, they will patrol the city streets and respond to calls for service independently.
