Today, my heart aches as we mourn the tragic passing of two decorated detectives. I had the honor of promoting Detective Jamie Huntley-Park & Detective Ryan Park in 2018. They were an incredible part of our team who helped countless San Diegans. pic.twitter.com/lxdfrlJOUE David Nisleit (@ChiefNisleit) June 5, 2021

A California Highway Patrol motorcycle officer badly injured in an Escondido crash earlier this week is a 13-year agency veteran and Medal of Valor recipient, an honor earned for rescuing an unconscious man trapped in a burning car.
The CHP on Wednesday identified the officer, who was injured shortly before 1 p.m. Tuesday, as Officer Joseph Heightman.
The crash happened as Heightman rode his motorcycle east on West Via Rancho Parkway near Lomas Seranas Drive when a Nissan Rogue took a left turn directly into his path.
Heightman was thrown from the motorcycle in the crash, CHP Officer Salvador Castro said.
