The city of Braidwood has a new police officer.
Last week, Officer Victor Gastelum was sworn in as the city’s newest hire, after approval by the police and fire board.
Public Health and Safety Commissioner James Mikel updated members of the City Council on the new hire during the April 11 regular meeting of the mayor and commissioners.
Mikel said Gastelum will replace a retiring full-time officer.
Gastelum will begin a 16-week training course with the Suburban Law Enforcement Academy on May 1.
