THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, October 4, 2019 ~ Political Announcement ~ Page 9 Saugus Police Offi cer Montano seeks offi ce of selectman M y name is Domenic Montano and I am proud to announce my candidacy for the Board of Selectmen for the Town of Saugus. I currently serve in the role of Police Offi cer for the Town of Saugus for the past 6 years. Serving as a law enforcement offi cer for the Town of Saugus has truly given me the pride to keep the Town and its residents safe. In the past three years, I have been certifi ed by the state as a Field Training Offi cer for new offi cers, as well as, a part of support group for law enforcement offi cers who deal with critical incidents. Most recently, I was appointed to the role of Community Events Coordinator as well as the Social Media Representative for the Saugus Police Patrol Officer’s Union. I have thoroughly enjoyed this role the most. In this role, I am given the greatest gift of being able to truly interact with my community on a positive level. Along with the help of my brother offi cers, Matthew Donahue and William Cash, we have been able to bring back a form of community policing whom I am happy to call not only a friend, but my family. I couldn’t even begin to tell you how proud I was of my town that day, seeing you all line up, waving your Bruin flags, Police fl ags and cheering us on. I would be lying if I said I didn’t cry behind the tinted windows of my cruiser. In 2010, I earned a bacheA CANDIDATE: Offi cer Domenic Montano.

I have been directly responsible for the creation of the “Cars and Cops Car Show” which in its fi rst year, raised $5000.00 for Sgt. Michael Chesna’s Family of the Weymouth Police Department, and just over $12,000 this year which will help erect a K9 Memorial for the Saugus Police K9’s of the past. I also played a major role in the planning of our beloved K9 Bruin’s Final Ride through the town. As you may know, K9 Bruin was the faithful partner of recently retired Offi cer Tim Fawcett, lor’s degree in Criminal Justice Administration from Salem State University. I am also a proud graduate of Saugus High School, class of 2006. I am honored to say that along with living in Saugus, my amazing parents, Fred and Mae Montano along with my brother, Fred and his Fiancée Kelsey, Andrew and his wife, Patty and my little sister, Angela, all live in town. In the past year, I became a godfather to my brother and sisterin-law’s baby girl, Olivia Mae Montano and I haven’t stopped smiling since. I feel extremely fortunate to have been able to grow up in Saugus from the age of 14 and then be given the utmost honor to protect the Town that has given me so much. I feel it almost my duty to take on the task of Selectman to further continue giving back to my community. I want to continue to keep Saugus an affl uent, safe, happy and welcoming place to live and operate small businesses. I am extremely approachable and consider myself a “people person.” There isn’t one time I won’t put myself out there to engage in good solid conversation or listen to people’s concerns. I am asking you for your vote and I promise to continue to be committed to you and our Town, just as I continue to do as a law enforcement Offi cer. It would be an honor to become a selectman for the Town to further ensure the progress of Saugus and to also bring change as well as new ideas to our great Town!
