Officer Riveros, your level of dedication, bravery and professionalism, is what every Law Enforcement Officer should strive for. You as a SWAT operator and also a Field Training Officer just demonstrates your devotion and commitment in serving the community. We thank you for your service sir. May you rest in peace.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.
