The Pleasanton Police Department swore in its newest officer, Jared Dekkers, at a ceremony earlier this month.

Dekkers is a lateral transfer from the Stockton Police Department, where he was a member of the Strategic Community Officer Team, which focused on community engagement and assisting unhoused people, according to Pleasanton PD.

Before graduating from the Alameda County Sheriff’s Academy, Dekkers worked as a corrections corporal at the South Dakota Department of Corrections. He also holds an associate degree in agricultural business.
