Lateral Police Officer, Devon Wenger, was sworn-in on July 30, 2018. Devon grew up in the Antioch/Brentwood/Oakley area and graduated from Freedom High School in 2010. After high school, Devon enlisted in the U.S. Army where he served for five years as a Military Police Officer and was deployed to Afghanistan. Devon continues to serve our country as a member of the California National Guard. Devon worked for the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Department for about a year and a half before joining the Antioch Police Department. Devon is our 95th Sworn Police Officer. Lateral Police Officers are a great addition as they typically have a much faster training process than those without previous law enforcement experience. Since Lateral Officers already have law enforcement experience, their training focuses on familiarizing them with the geography and hot spots of the city as well as the policies and procedures of the Antioch Police Department. We are excited to welcome Devon to the Antioch PD family.
