Officers Amandeep Shergill (left) and Reid Johnston (center) are the newest members of the Mercer Island Police Department force. They will now begin a three-month Field Training Officer (FTO) program where they will ride with, and learn from, several veteran officers. According to Chief Ed Holmes (right), when a new officer has successfully completed the FTO phase of their training, a patrol sergeant will serve as their mentor while they complete their probationary period.
