The LEU long ride stopped outside El Segundo City Hall for a wreath-laying honoring four officers; city police leaders greeted riders and an unnamed officer described the moment as humbling.
A Law Enforcement United long-ride team of 24 federal, state and local officers rode into the Los Angeles area and on May 6 stopped outside El Segundo’s council chambers for a wreath-laying at the Wall of Honor, city media reported.
A wreath was laid in honor of four El Segundo police officers killed in the line of duty: Robert Grow, Alexander Haddock, Richard Phillips and Milton Curtis. City media said El Segundo Police Chief Saul Rodriguez and Lieutenant Corey McEnroe were among those who greeted the riders.
An unidentified city speaker described the event as “very humbling,” said the city displays four stars on police patches to remember officers who “gave the ultimate sacrifice,” and expressed hope to join the ride in the future. The transcript quote: “It was truly an honor for them to come here and recognize our 4 fallen officers who fell in the line of duty. It's, it's it's very humbling to see this. We have council members came through here. It really means a lot, because, again, police work is a is a very difficult job. And anytime we can get this kind of support, it means a lot to us.”
