Wilson said Cardona took it upon himself to learn as much as he could about administration, not only of the department, but the city itself-something Wilson said was “rare” for an officer.Īlbers began with the department in 2000, was promoted to corporal in 2005, then sergeant in 2007. Gabriel Cardona began with the department in 2007 and works in special operations at the department and is a member of the SWAT team. Two more officers moved up to the rank of lieutenant, Jeremy Albers and Gabriel Cardona. Although his parents weren’t able to be present for the ceremony, his father sent a silver dollar, a prize Stoddard had won as a child, for Wilson to present to Stoddard. Stoddard’s wife, Trish, pinned his rank and his badge on his shirt. Although his parents were unable to be present, they did send a letter which was read to him by Gretchen McWhorter, who worked with Wyers in the Criminal Investigation Division of the department. Wyers’ wife and son were at the ceremony, with his son pinning his rank and badge on his shirt. Stoddard has been with the department since 1991, and Wyers has been with the department since 1995. Wilson remarked that both have already been fulfilling those duties for at least a year now.

Wilson called the promotions on Friday a “historic” event. Family, friends, and colleagues turned out to celebrate with the seven officers.Ĭopperas Cove Chief of Police Eddie Wilson first recognized the spouses and family members of the personnel being promoted, for their support in helping the officers do what they do every day, and for being the ones who help them through struggles.
