Retired SAPD Ernie Riojas had a bad Motorcycle Accident on the way to run an Funeral Escort. It happened near Loop 410 and Babcock.
His rear tire blew out and he went down.  He is at home now, but will need a Skin Graft in about 2 to 3 weeks. His biggest bruise was on his left knee on the inside of his leg.
They had to remove some skin, which left some " raw meat" exposed, which is why he needs a skin graft. He will be out for two to three months.
 
Lets all offer up some prayers for a full and speedy recovery.
Mike Ross

Please Pray for all our Brothers and Sisters in Blue that are Sick and face other problems. Keep all our SAPD family and friends in the Hands of the Lord.
 
Christmas and New year are among the two most popular occasions around the world. On this day everyone looks forward to starting this year with positivity and enthusiasm
and wish that the coming year brings them peace, harmony, happiness, and wealth.
 
My wishes for you are not limited to just the next year but to all the years that you will experience in your lifetime.
I am fortunate to have friends who bring so much joy and craziness to this life.
 
It is that time when family and friends get together to greet each other.
So let the old year take away all the sickness and sorrows from our lives and welcome Christmas and New Year with a smile and a hug with loved ones.
