department, Deputy Rosa received numerous outstanding
evaluations and was described by her supervisors as "a self
starter" and an "outstanding Training Officer" with an
"attitude and performance second to none," who is "fair and
courteous to all" and has "wonderful sense of humor with an
electric smile."
Early in the morning of March 28, 2006, Deputy Rosa was in
civilian clothes loading the trunk of her car to go to work
at the Inmate Reception Center when she was accosted by two
robbers. She reached into her trunk for her service
weapon, but it jammed as she pointed it. The robbers fired
two shots at Deputy Rosa and fled the scene. Deputy Rosa
was found by a newspaper delivery person and later passed
away at the hospital from her injuries.
This resolution designates the segment of State Route (SR)
710 from Wardlow Road to the Pacific Coast Highway as the
"Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff Maria Cecilia Rosa
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.
