Boardman Trustees promoted veteran police officer Brian Habeger to the post of lieutenant at their regularly-scheduled meeting on Monday night at the Government Center.
      Lt. Habeger has served in the law enforcement profession for almost three decades. After graduating from South Range High School, he attended Youngstown State University, graduating with a degree in criminal justice.
      Lt. Habeger received his Ohio Peace Officer Certification from Western Reserve Institute and began his career in law enforcement with the Austintown Police Department, serving there from 1989 to 1992. He then joined Poland Police Department where he served until 1997, when he joined the Boardman Police Department, where he was promoted to sergeant in 2002.
      Also at Monday’s meeting, acting upon the recommendation of Road Superintendent/Land Bank Manager Marilyn Kenner, Trustees accepted property at 4055 Tippecanoe Rd. as township property.
      “The property has a riparian area and should remain as green space,” Kenner said.
