Machias town officials, police officers, and more than a dozen of Taylor LeBlanc’s family members looked on as he signed his name and began a career in law enforcement on Wednesday, May 10.

Machias Police Chief Keith Mercier planned LeBlanc’s swearing-in ceremony and, after administering his oath, presented LeBlanc with some gifts to commemorate the event, including a blue bracelet.
