The Germantown Police Department welcomed two new officers to their ranks last week, in a ceremony presided over by Judge Clift. The new additions, Mike Bunyon and Randy Tran, come to the department with distinct backgrounds and a dedication to serving the Germantown community.

Officer Mike Bunyon, who moved from Chicago with his family, brings over a decade of experience from the Chicago Police Department. His tenure there distinguished him with accolades such as the Act of Valor Award, and Life-Saving Awards, and commendations that speak to his commitment to the force. Officer Randy Tran is a native of Memphis and an alumnus of Power Center Academy and the University of Memphis. He joined the Memphis Police Department driven by a desire to follow a career of greater purpose, eventually leading him to Germantown, attracted by the collaborative spirit evident between the police and the populace.

In a post shared on the department’s Facebook page, the Germantown Police Department expressed its honor in having Judge Clift swear in the new officers, noting, "Please join us in welcoming Officers Bunyon and Tran to Germantown."
