Justin Agosto was officially sworn in Wednesday as the newest member of the Spring Valley Police Department during a ceremony held at Village Hall.

Mayor Schenley Vital administered the oath of office in front of village officials, fellow officers, and family members who gathered to mark the occasion. The ceremony formally welcomed Agosto into the department as he begins his service to the Spring Valley community.

Agosto joins the department after previously serving with the New York City Police Department in the 44th Precinct. His prior law enforcement experience brings additional background and training to the department.

Village leadership noted that the addition of new officers remains an important part of maintaining a visible and responsive police presence throughout Spring Valley.
