Officer Saloio was then sworn in by Juno Beach Town Clerk Caitlin Copeland as other members of the Police Department and numerous Town residents looked on.

Mark has served over 28 years in law enforcement, the majority of which were for the Sturbridge Massachusetts Police Department where he rose to Administrative Lieutenant, an Executive Officer Position. Mark left Sturbridge to serve as Chief of Police with the Tisbury Massachusetts Police Department. During his tenure and just prior to his retirement, Tisbury obtained certification through the Massachusetts Accreditation Commission.

In addition to his Masters degree from Westfield State University, Mark attended the Southern Police Institute Command Officer Development Course, Northwestern University's School of Police Staff and Command, Roger Williams' University Executive Development Program, and is an FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Association Trilogy Award recipient.

Following his swearing in Mark commented  - "I am looking forward to serving the Juno Beach community and our Police Department in any way possible. Everyone has been terrific here and has extended me and my wife a very warm welcome. Juno Beach is a wonderful community."

The Police Foundation is pleased to welcome Officer Mark Saloio to the Juno Beach Police Department.

Police Foundation Annual Campaign

The Annual Campaign of the Juno Beach Police Foundation began on December 10th with a direct mail piece sent to all residents, business owners, and friends of the Police Foundation asking for their support.

Incorporated in 2018, the Police Foundation has, with the support of the community, purchased numerous important items for the Juno Beach Police Department to help improve both their efficiency and safety.

Among the items purchased were both a Beach Patrol truck and an all-terrain vehicle to help increase patrols on our fabulous beachfront; a street-legal golf car for patrols in the Ocean Drive, Pelican Lake, Kagan Park, and surrounding neighborhoods; a Police Drone for aerial perspectives of events, protests, and traffic situations; a firearms simulator for Officer in-service training; first aid training and life safety equipment for patrol vehicles... and much, much more.

With the support of our Juno Beach community the Police Foundation will continue in its efforts to "Help Ensure the Safety of Juno Beach"
