PELHAM — Two new officers have joined the Pelham Police Department and a nine-year veteran has made sergeant, Chief Joseph Roark said.

Glen Chase, the former traffic enforcement officer, is the new sergeant. Brian Kelly, 24, of Salem and Ronald Page, 26, of Haverhill, Mass., are the new officers. Roark announced the appointments at the selectmen’s meeting Dec. 4.

All three were sworn in last night at an official ceremony at the police station. Lt. Gary Fisher said the Police Department members and their families attended.

Chase, 33, of Pelham was previously commended for his actions during an incident when he and fellow officers were under fire. He holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from University of Massachusetts in Lowell.

He is a five-year member of the Southern New Hampshire Regional Tactical Team. Chase also teaches self-defense in rape aggression defense training classes. Previously, he worked at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and was an auxiliary officer in Haverhill. His salary is $55,016.

Page and Kelly graduated from the police academy and are training with senior Pelham officers. They will receive annual salaries of $37,377.

Kelly holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Endicott College in Beverly, Mass. He has no previous law enforcement experience. Kelly was employed in purchasing in the steel industry, Fisher said.

Page is attending Salem State College, where his major is environmental geography. Previously, he served five years with the military police in the Marine Corps, including an eight-month tour in Iraq. He is now in the Marine Corps Reserve.
