When the news broke last week about a shooting that led to the death of one San Luis Obispo Police Department detective and injured another, community members and law enforcement officers throughout the county were devastated. "It's one of those things where we look at our jobs and we think, 'That could have been me,'" Grover Beach Police Cmdr. Bryan Millard said. click to enlarge Photo Courtesy Of SLOPD Facebook IN THE LINE OF DUTY Community members are leaving balloons and flowers outside the San Luis Obispo Police Department to memorialize SLO Police Detective Luca Benedetti. Grover Beach police and other allied agencies wanted to do whatever they could to help San Luis Obispo police mourn the death of their fellow officer and friend. Using mutual aid agreements that allow agencies across the county to work outside of their jurisdictions—the same agreements that were used to increase staffing levels during SLO's protests of police brutality in 2020—county departments worked together to cover for SLOPD in the wake of the shooting, keeping 24-hour watch of the body and taking calls for service in the city.
