Most Recent Reflection
View all 96 ReflectionsYour loss in the line of duty shocked me to my core. I only moved to Hollywood the day before and coming from the NYPD where tragedies were more commonplace unfortunately, It took away the innocence of Hollywood. As time went on, I was able to see the love and respect of the community & police department for you through various events I attended as a community member. A memorial book binder that I made in your honor rests in the Hollywood Police Department Records Division. Always Remembered!
