Congratulations to Officer Dave Rosas for 40 Years at SBPD! Last week, SBPD Officer Dave Rosas celebrated 40 years (and counting) on the force with SBPD.

Rosas walked a foot patrol along Mt. Vernon Ave. on Fridays. He remembers the Azteca Movie Theater being open. Thank you, Officer Rosas!!! Congratulations to Officer Dave Rosas for 40 Years at SBPD!
