names on october 24th, we lost deputy sheriff danny oliver of the sacramento sheriff's department on that same day, in the same incident, we lost detective michael davis junior of the plaser county sheriff's department. in an incident where a suspect terrorized a community and did multiple carjackings, shot three officers, two of them were killed and ultimately apprehended. on october 28th, we lost deputy sheriff eugene costrakinko from the ventura sheriff's department, and the very next day on the 29th, we lost officer and swat operator sean diamond of the plamona police department and i think that it was a devastating week for the law enforcement community and all of these communities up and down california and it is a reminder of how dangerous this work is, and that the officers of this department also run to

danger when others are running away. so, in honor and in memory of these fallen officers, i would ask that we adjourn this meeting in their memory and send all of our thoughts and prayers to their family and to these departments and communities, do i have a motion. >> so moved. >> second. >> second. >> all of those in favor. >> aye. >> those opposed? >> thank you.
