Four citizens and four San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies were honored with Exceptional Service Awards for saving the life of Deputy Carlos Velasco, who was injured during a traffic stop on Aug. 17, 2021.
The suspect fired over 30 rounds at Velasco and fled. Velasco was injured on his face and arms.
Smoke emerged from the engine compartment of the patrol car from the numerous rounds that struck the engine and gas line. Velasco was still inside the vehicle when nearby residents Jeremiah Kee, Herman Gill, Nayeli Ramos, and Gerardo Ramos helped get him safely out. As the first deputies arrived, the patrol vehicle erupted into flames.
Deputies Daniel Price, Eid Fakhoury, Ryan Rappisi, and Camren O’Brien arrived and assessed Velasco’s injuries. They placed Velasco in the rear of their patrol vehicle and took him to the hospital.
Without the quick actions made by these civilians and Deputies, Velasco's life would not have been saved. We are thankful for their selfless actions.

In short, it will bring safer routes for those who commute to school by foot.
Project improvements will be located on Duffy Street, Darby Street, Macy Street, Blake Street, Vermont Street, 1st Avenue, June Street, 2nd Avenue and other surrounding streets.
