Los Gatos/Monte Sereno Welcome New Police Officer Wayne Boom

The Los Gatos/Monte Sereno Police Department is welcoming new officer Wayne Boom to its 38-member sworn team.

The announcement was posted on the department's page on the Town of Los Gatos' website and included a photo of Boom next to Police Chief Scott Seaman.

Boom is a California native who was attending college when he was first hired by the LGMSPD in May 2010 as a part time police assistant.

He pursued his college education and worked as a community service officer intern for the department from November 2010 through April 2013.

Boom was hired as a police officer recruit in April 2013 and attended the San Jose Police Academy.

In September 2013, Boom graduated from the police academy and was sworn into the police department as a full time police officer on Sept. 30, said police Sgt. spokesman Clinton Tada.

Boom will enter a field training program and then, upon completion, he will be assigned as an officer in the patrol division, Sgt. Tada said.
