Your heroism and service is honored today, the 94th 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace

Yep, 94 years might be a long time ago, but the members of the CPD shall not forget you, my brother. You are a true hero. Walking "10-99" (one man unit) into a domestic disturbance requires bravery. Thank you.

John Bialk is a hero, by the purest definition of the word. The man walked into a dangerous situation alone, without regard for his own personal safety. Please know that he is regarded to this day by the working police as such.
