SUSD Police Chief Jim West said a little while ago he doesn’t think he will ever get over the death last month of Sgt. Kim Pinto, 39, in a traffic accident. Today was also a very sad day for law enforcement because of the shooting death of Galt Police Officer Kevin Tonn, 35.
West is marking both tragedies.
West’s black and pink wristband is in memory of Pinto. He said her favorite color was pink. She had pink handcuffs and pink sunglasses. West said the wristbands were distributed to all of the officers on SUSD’s force.
The black ribbon on West’s badge is in memory of the fallen officer from Galt.
