My partner and friend which I miss and will never forget. I also will never forget when you were there for me in my need. Our Department and communities had lost a great Deputy. My thoughts and prayer are with you my friend, God speed.

Bruce was a great guy. When I use to patrol the La Quinta area, he was always helpful and would answer questions with a smile.

Bruce is still very much in our thoughts and hearts. We just moved into our new station and your picture hangs in our briefing room to remind us of the price you paid. It is a somber reminder of the dangers of the job.

We will always miss you!!!! Your anniversary is around the corner :(

Hi there Bruce, was visiting this site after I learned of another brother of yours has fallen. I feel so deeply for the deputies and officers in the field that in a moments notice everything can be taken from them. Please keep him safe up in Heaven with you.

Your heroism and service is honored today as we approach the 6th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service.

My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer. He was shot twice when ambushed on April 23rd when he was on a foot pursuit of two bank robbers, 2 years after you were killed.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace.

Bruce,
Five years. The pain of seeing your name on the "Wall" in DC does not go away nor do the good memories that Shelly and I talked about while being there with you this year. We miss you alot bud.

No fellow Southern California law enforcement personnel killed in the line-of-duty, should be forgotten.

Today, several of us "Old-Timers," here at Southeast were discussing how policing the Inland Empire is quite challenging and unique.

Shooting Incidents such as the "Doty & Trust OIS"(killed 26 years ago today), the "Norco Shootout," and so many other infamous deadly incidents are sobering reminders of how things can go badly, so quickly.

In the past 24 hours, personnel from Riverside County and San Bernadino County (the largest county in the U.S.), were on a manhunt for possible additional suspects, after a hellacious shooting incident where patrol vehicles, as well as a helicopter, had been fired upon, near the Soboba Casino.

To all of the Men and Women representing all Inland Empire law enforcement agencies, I tip my Cowboy Hat.

Deputy Lee, May You Rest - In - Peace.
