Seekonk Police Officer Promoted

Seekonk Police Officer Christopher Platt-Hanoian was promoted to the rank of Sergeant at Wednesday’s Select Board meeting.

Chief David Enos said the recent retirement of Greg Casper created an open Sergeant position in the department. Platt Hanoian attended Seekonk High School and served in the United States Army. He held the rank of Sergeant and served in the Global War on Terror in Afghanistan and Africa.

Platt Hanoian has been a member of the police department since 2015. “During his tenure, he’s established himself as a mentor for the officers on the midnight shift,” Enos noted. “He has also been placed in charge of the department’s Firearm program.

Five new Police Officers were also sworn in: Christian Ortiz, Nicholas Viveiros, Emilson Abotsi, William Dillingham, and Theodore Santos.
