I would always run into Officer Gil At Taco Asada. If I were already there, he'd sit with me. If he were there he'd ask me to join him and whomever else. Officer Gil always made me laugh. When I was going through such emotional stress at work, he'd helped me see the bright side and maybe Gods Will. When I told him I was going to retire, I asked him Gil, when are you going to retire? He said as soon as I get these 8 kids raised. Even after not seeing him all these years I can still see him smiling at me and I know I shall laugh again with him. Rest In Peace my friend.

When I start my tour of duty God, wherever crime may be, As I walk the darkened streets alone, let me be close to thee. Please give me understanding with both the young and old. let me llisten with attention until there story's told. Let me never make a judgment in a rush or callous way. But let me hold my patience, let each man have his say. Lord if some dark and dreary night, i must give my life, Lord with your everlasting love protact those special in my life. RIP Officer Jose Gilbert Vega

Officer Vega, thank you sir for your service. What a long career you had serving the people of Palm Springs. To be murdered in an ambush by that coward is the ultimate insult. Hopefully the killer gets what he has coming to him. Thankfully the great State of California still utilizes the Death Penalty. There should be no question that it gets applied in this case. We will keep your family and Department in our thoughts. Please watch over us as we carry on.
