Today, Mayor Pete Land swore in the newest Crown Point police officer during the Board of Public Works and Safety Meeting.
Cameron Vaughan, badge No. 127, is a third-generation police officer, with both his parents and grandfather serving with the Portage Police Department.
Vaughan is a 2014 graduate of Portage High School. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Indiana State University.
After college, Vaughan worked as a correctional officer with the Vigo County Sheriff’s Department. He is a graduate of the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy Class No. 221.
Previously, Vaughan served with the Plainfield, Indiana, Police Department, where he received two live-saving awards and commendations.
Most recently, Vaughan joined the Porter County Sheriff’s Department to be closer to family.
Vaughan’s hire brings the department to 49 full-time, sworn officers.
“We look forward to Cameron joining our growing police department family. His background in law enforcement makes him a great asset to our team,” Crown Point Police Chief Ryan S. Patrick said.
