Dedication Ceremony
On May 15, 2013, the Covina Police Department was joined by local government officials, representatives from other police agencies, and private citizens for the dedication of the Covina Police Memorial. The ceremony took place at the Covina Police Department, and featured the many traditions associated with honoring fallen peace officers. The Covina Police Memorial was made possible by generous donations from private citizens, businesses, other law enforcement agencies, and retired police officers.
The on-duty traffic collision that took Covina Police Sergeant Scott Hanson's life occurred August 14, 2003. Chief Kim Raney said, "Sadly and appropriately, we were able to enshrine Sergeant Hanson's name in front of the Police Department where he served for 20 years. As long as this building is standing, the Memorial will hold a place of honor and prominence, a reminder to both the public and all of us the true cost of public safety". The Covina Police Department thanks the many contributors who saw this Memorial project through to its completion. [Read More Details]
