Crimestoppers honors officer D'Antonio

Silicon Valley Crimestoppers on March 28 gave a special recognition award to Mike D'Antonio, a patrol and field training officer with the Los Gatos­Monte Sereno Police Department. The department nominated D'Antonio for the honor because of his work on various cases, having cleared 19 burglaries. "He's really tenacious and does good follow-through," said Capt. Alan Forrest.

D'Antonio has spent three of his seven years in law enforcement at the department. He said he is focused on community policing--talking to residents and resolving their problems. "A lot of times, that's something as simple as extra patrols," D'Antonio said.
