‘We’re trying to make a change here’: Reform advocates welcome new Antioch PD officers

After an introduction of Antioch’s newest officers Tuesday, community advocates for police reform offered well wishes and prayers for their safety while urging them to be the change the struggling department desperately needs.

The four new officers — Alejandro Loroño, David Church, Trayjen Jones and Placido Serna III — are stepping into a department that was at the center of a federal investigation that uncovered civil rights violations, fraud, conspiracy to distribute steroids and destruction of evidence.
