Sixty law officers have died in the line of duty throughout Riverside County since 1895, and each of them was remembered and honored at an annual ceremony by their families, friends and hundreds of active duty officers and retirees. Among the attendees: young officers and police academy students. “We can’t promise them they will be safe,” Riverside Police Chief Sergio Diaz told the crowd Monday, May 20. But the solemn pledge to every officer, he emphasized, is that if they die in the line of duty, their colleagues will bring their killer to justice, give the fallen officer a good send-off, take care of their families – and always, always, always honor their memory. Diaz spoke in front of the downtown police station on Orange Street, nearly in the shadow of his department’s Safe in his Arms statue that depicts an officer holding and protecting a child. On the statue’s base are the names of every one of the county’s officers who have died in the line of duty through 2012. Read More. |
