At the last regular meeting of Town Council Police Chief A.J. Panebianco administered his department's Oath of Honor to his newest recruit in the presence of the Town Government, the public his department serves, and the officer's wife and son. A Middleburg Policeman formally receives his badge only after taking the oath, a solemn promise made to the citizens of Middleburg, over and above the official swearing in before a judge of the Loudoun County District Court. It is a special point of pride for the force, for the Town, for those our officers who protect and serve us all.

On My Honor,
I will never betray my badge, my integrity, my character, or the public trust.
I will always have the courage to hold myself and others accountable for our actions.
I will always uphold the Constitution, and the community I serve,
So Help Me God.
