End of Watch Saturday, May 31, 2025



Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

Officer Riveros, you gave the last full measure of devotion to the people of Baldwin Park. Our hearts grieve with the law enforcement community. Peace be with you all. To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. (2Corinthians5:8)

Officer Riveros, a police officer, should be remembered not by how he died but by how he lived! A brave man has left to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you for your 9 1/2 years of commitment to law enforcement, your family, and the Baldwin Park Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace, Brother!

I am deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Officer Samuel Riveros, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. His courage, dedication, and selfless service to the community will never be forgotten.

I had the honor of having Samuel as my trainee years ago. One memory that will always stand out is his smile — it could light up any room and uplift everyone around him.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all who served alongside him. May he rest in peace and continue to smile down upon us.
