GREENVILLE — Christian “Bryce” Lovett was sworn in as Greenville Police Department’s new policeman this week.

The 2013 Greenville High School graduate said he wanted to be in law enforcement “to do something for the community.”

“I like the idea of being out there to help,” he said.

Since graduation, he said he worked in construction, then a factory, back in construction and in plumbing.

He completed police academy this year.

He is the son of Chris and Tammy (Apple) Lovett, who were in attendance at the swearing-in performed by Greenville Mayor Steve Willman.

Also in attendance to witness the swearing-in ceremony were Bryce’s three other brothers, Jayce, Allan and Steve, in addition to friends and other members of the Greenville Police Department.
