Officer Jovani Chaidez has been sworn in as the newest member of the Montgomery Police Department. The ceremony took place at the Village Board Meeting on September 8, with Village President Matt Brolley administering the oath. Officer Chaidez’s family, including his parents and three older brothers, attended the event and participated by pinning his badge.

He is a 2020 graduate of East Aurora High School and has lived in Montgomery for ten years.
