AUSTINTOWN Anna Mangan and Phil Fusco are the latest additions to the Austintown Police Department.
“We have two real good candidates here, and I think they’re going to turn out to be good officers for the Austintown Police Department,” police Chief Robert Gavalier said Monday after they were sworn in.
Both Mangan and Fusco said their desire to be an officer stems from when they were younger.
“My sophomore year in high school is when I realized I wanted to be a police officer. My cousin is a police officer, and I did a ride-along with him. I fell in love with it right then and there,” Fusco said.
