Law enforcement and community members came together Wednesday to support the recruits who are still recovering after being struck by a driver during their morning jog in Whittier last week.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff Norwalk Sheriff Station held a barbecue to raise money for the recruits."At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if you're wearing blue of if you're wearing tan, we're a law enforcement community and we're all one family," said Ofc. Keith Briley with Santa Ana PD. "It doesn't matter if you're L.A. County or Orange County, we all come together at the end of the day to support each other in tragic events like this.
"We're going to be there for them, and this is what we do, we take care of each other, in and out of the field," said LASD Dep. Miguel Meza.Those who showed up wanted to help and show their appreciation for the job the men and women in law enforcement do every day. "When I heard about this, I told my wife, 'We've got to put it on our calendar, we're going,'" said James Bates of La Palma.
Since the recruits are not sworn officers, they do not have the benefits that the sheriff's deputies have."I think it's awesome that so many people are here for this, it's just really heartwarming," said Teressa Bates.Copyright © 2022 KABC Television, LLC. All rights reserved.
