President’s Message

May 1, 2025

This month, many of us will gather to honor our fallen brothers and sisters during memorial ceremonies here in California and in Washington, D.C. These events always leave me with a mix of emotions — grief for those we’ve lost, pride in their service and renewed determination to support those who continue to wear the badge. Standing together, we’re reminded that their sacrifices light the way for our mission today, inspiring us to strengthen our communities and protect one another. Read More

Honoring California’s Fallen Heroes

May 1, 2025

Since 1962, May 15 has been designated as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which it falls as National Police Week — a time “to pay tribute to the law enforcement officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and to voice our appreciation for all those who currently serve on the front lines of the battle against crime,” according to the joint resolution by Congress that was signed by President John F. Kennedy. Each May, peace officers, surviving family members and law enforcement supporters across the country join together in local, state and national ceremonies to remember all the brave men and women who have given their lives in the line of duty, both in the past year and throughout history.

He’s also been involved in association leadership since the early stages of his career, starting by becoming treasurer and then president of the Fontana School Police Officers Association. Read More
