The Pleasanton Police Department recently welcomed three new officers to the city — Corey Fernandez, Chase Crawford and Martha De Loza.
“I am confident our newest public servants embody our mission, vision and values … and will continue the high quality of service our community deserves,” Pleasanton Police Chief David Swing said in a press release last week.
De Loza and Crawford are graduates of the recent 196th police academy class from the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office Law Enforcement Training Center.
De Loza previously worked as a corrections officer for Sacramento County Probation Department after having received her bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Sacramento State University.
Crawford, who joined PPD after consulting with his dad who is a retired police officer, received his associate degree in arts and science from San Joaquin Delta College.
Fernandez is the only one of the three who is coming to the force with previous patrol experience, with the Milpitas Police Department. He also has experience as a middle school teacher and has a bachelor’s degree in communications from California State University, Monterey and a master’s degree in education from National University.
The new officers officially started on March 27 and had their swearing-in ceremony on March 29, according to Teri Yan, PPD community and public relations coordinator.
