away from drugs and gangs. In 2000, Deputy Powell was
awarded the Medal of Valor by the City of Lakewood for
saving the life of an individual attempting suicide, and
several months prior to his death, Deputy Powell tried
desperately to remove critically injured passengers from a
burning vehicle and was honored for his heroic actions with
a second Medal of Valor. Tragically, Deputy Powell was
killed in the line of duty in the City of Artesia on
November 30, 2002, while in a standoff with a barricaded
gunman who was holding a hostage.
This resolution designates the segment of State Route (SR)
91 between SR 605 and Pioneer Boulevard in Los Angeles
County as the "Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff David
Powell Memorial Highway". The resolution further requests
the Department of Transportation to erect appropriate signs
upon receiving donations from non-state sources to cover
the costs.
