Fairfield and was activated for a four-month tour of duty
in Afghanistan in 2006. In 2007, CHP Officer McGrory
graduated from the CHP Academy and was assigned to the
Baldwin Park Area Office. He subsequently transferred to
the Barstow Area where he spent the remainder of his
career. In his short career with the CHP, he distinguished
himself in his work and was selected to become a training
officer for new CHP cadets.
On June 27, 2010, at approximately 3:38 a.m., Officer
McGrory was issuing a field sobriety test on the shoulder
of the I-15 freeway when a red Pontiac G6 veered onto the
shoulder and struck him. His partner broadcast an 11-99
(officer down) and immediately began CPR. Two other CHP
officers and a sergeant arrived on the scene minutes later
and assisted with CPR. Unfortunately, he succumbed to his
injuries at approximately 4:55 a.m. at Saint Mary's
Regional Medical Center in Apple Valley, where he had been
airlifted. CHP Officer McGrory was admired for his sense
of humor, his ability to "write a citation without managing
to ruin the violator's day," his devotion to his family and
career, confidence, charm, poise, and for being an
all-around great man.
This resolution designates a four mile segment of
Interstate 15 in San Bernardino County as the "CHP Officer
Justin W. McGrory Memorial Highway." The resolution
further requests the Department of Transportation to erect
appropriate signs upon receiving donations from non-state
sources to cover the expense of fabricating and installing
the signs.
