Northern Kentucky University graduate Charles Sora has officially joined the Covington Police Department as its newest officer. The swearing-in ceremony took place at City Hall, where Mayor Ron Washington administered the oath of office.
Assistant Chief of Police Matthew Winship noted that with Sora's induction, the department now has 110 sworn officers. "With Charlie Sora’s swearing in we are now 110 sworn officers," said Winship. He also highlighted that Sora joins his brother Jackson, who became a part of the department in 2023.
Winship remarked on the tradition of family involvement within the department, stating, "Law enforcement continues to be a family tradition in Covington." The department has seen multiple instances of siblings and parent-child duos serving together over its history.
Before joining the police force, Charles Sora graduated from Northern Kentucky University in May with a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science. His educational journey began at Covington Catholic High School. Sora is set to attend the Basic Academy in Richmond for 20 weeks before returning to Covington for field training.
