WABASH, Ind. – One retired Wabash Police Department officer was honored Monday night, while another member of the WPD and a member of the Wabash Fire Department were promoted when the Wabash City Council met.
Wabash Patrolman Greg Music, who retired earlier this month after 34 years on the department, received a plaque from Mayor Scott Long.
Meanwhile, WPD Patrolman Paige Blanton was promoted to First Class Patrolman.
She joined the department on July 24, 2017, and graduated from the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy. She is currently on third shift patrol.
Wabash firefighter Nathan Wood was promoted to WFD Inspector Paramedic.
In another matter, Wabash resident Marcia Short complained to the Council about the condition of several homes in her neighborhood.
Building Commissioner John Stephens, in response to a question from Long, said one of the homes she complained about is on the list for a hearing before the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety.
Long instructed Stephens to look into the condition of the other homes which Short expressed concern about.
