For the first time in 25 years, the Jim Thorpe Police Department will have a sergeant. Officer Michael Bokeko was appointed to the position by the Jim Thorpe Borough Council at its regularly scheduled meeting Thursday.

Sgt. Bokeko was chosen for the position after obtaining the highest score on a qualifications test, which was taken by the Jim Thorpe Police Department’s five top officers.
