Today will be the first official day on the job as chief for a longtime Bridgeport police officer.
AJ Perez took his oath during a ceremony in City Council Chambers last evening. 
Perez has been with the department for more than 30 years and previously served as the head of the detective bureau. 
Former chief Joe Gaudett stepped down earlier this week to accept a position in the city's Department of Emergency Management.
