Santa Paula Police Memorial - santapaulapolicememorial

Through the nearly 90-year history of the Santa Paula Police Department we have lost two officers in the line-of-duty. These officers are Marshall Henry Norman in 1913 and Officer James Barmore in 1953. In 2011, community members of Santa Paula and police department personnel erected a memorial oblisk to honor those police officers that have fallen as well as commemorate all Santa Paula Police Officers that have served the community.

Tragically, in 2012, we lost two active members of our police department in off-duty incidents. On February 15, 2012 Reserve Officer David Bartlett was killed in an off-duty traffic accident. On July 22, 2012 Officer Kimberley Hemminger was also killed in an off-duty accident. While these officers did not die in the line-of-duty, they leave a void in our police department and they are deeply missed by their families and colleagues. The Santa Paula Reserve Officers formed a foundation to help the families of these officers. The Santa Paula Police Memorial 5k Run/Walk is the first such event. All net proceeds from the race will go to benefit the families of Officer Kimberly Hemminger and Reserve Officer Dave Bartlett.

Your participation in this event is greatly appreciated and we hope you have a wonderful vist to Santa Paula.
