While I have not yet had the opportunity to work with them yet, I ve been impressed by their application and interviews. The diversity of backgrounds, life experiences, and ideas will help to make our department richer for the differences, Owens remarked. We have been impressed by their connections to the city of Troy and their choice to work in a busy urban environment. We have spoken with numerous people in the community who know them and they are each highly regarded, Owens continued.

TROY – The Troy Police Department swore in four new officers Friday afternoon at City Hall in a ceremony limited to family members due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The city’s newest officers are Jack Engster, Katherine A. Molesky, David Grant and Kevin Koberger.
Engster became a part owner of Manory’s, the city’s oldest restaurant, before deciding to join the police force. His great-grandfather was a city police officer.
Molesky is the daughter of Deputy Police Chief Daniel DeWolf. She is a graduate of the College of St. Rose and previously worked in the Troy City School District.
