Peace officers memorial held in Balboa Park
The memory of a border patrol agent who died in the line of duty last summer was among several law enforcement personnel honored at the 24th Peace Officers Memorial Service held earlier this month at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion in Balboa Park.
A helicopter fly-by, a rifle salute and a reading of the Roll of Honor recognized fallen county law officers. This year’s service gave special tribute to San Diego native Eric Cabral, 31, who died of a heart attack in July of 2007 while trailing a group of suspected illegal aliens near Jacumba.
According to the San Diego County Law Enforcement Foundation, 69 officers have died in the line of duty countywide since the mid-19th century. Of those, 30 were police personnel.
The foundation hosted the event in cooperation with the San Diego Crime Commission, the San Diego Police Chiefs and Sheriffs Association and the San Diego-Imperial Counties chapter of the Peace Officers Research Association of California.
