Alex Montoya, a 15-year veteran of the Los Rios Police Department who was known for his caring attitude and enthusiastic service, died Oct. 23 of brain cancer, said LRPD Chief Cheryl Sears. He was 54.

“I constantly got positive feedback about Officer Montoya,” said City College Police Capt. Valerie Cox. “He really cared about people. He never thought of anybody as ‘calls.’”

Mr. Montoya began his career with LRPD as an officer for the Sacramento City College Police in 1999. Since that time he has worked at all locations throughout the district and was promoted to sergeant in 2012.

As sergeant, Mr. Montoya was on the interview panel for incoming staff and educated new police members as a field training officer.
