As a college intern with the Newtown Police Department, Llano reviewed more than 500 body-worn camera incidents.

Officer Llano is following in his father's footsteps. Luis Llano, Sr., has been a police officer with Farmingdale State College for the past 23 years and in law enforcement for over 26 years overall.
