Specifically, this resolution: 1)Recounts the life and accomplishments of Shaun Diamond, an officer in the SWAT unit of the Pomona Police Department. 2)Designates the portion of I-10 between the State Route 57 Interchange and the North Towne Avenue Exit in Los Angeles County as the "Officer Shaun Diamond Memorial Highway." 3)Requests that the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) determine the cost of appropriate signs, consistent with the signing requirements for the state highway system, showing the special designation and, upon receiving donations from non-state sources covering that cost, to erect those signs. EXISTING LAW: Assigns Caltrans the responsibility of operating and maintaining state highways. This includes the installation and maintenance of highway signs. FISCAL EFFECT: Unknown, but the measure requests that Caltrans only erect the appropriate signage upon receiving donations from non-state sources covering the cost. COMMENTS: Officer Shaun Richard Diamond was a 16-year law enforcement veteran, having worked for the Los Angeles and Montebello police departments before joining the Pomona Police Department (PPD) in 2006. Officer Diamond served for six years as a member of the PPD's SWAT unit and shared his expertise training new recruits as a Field Training Officer. In his most recent assignment to the Pomona Downtown District Enforcement Team, Officer Diamond acted as a liaison to the business community and participated in community outreach efforts including Special Olympics, Tip-A-Cop, and K-9 and SWAT ACR 104 Page 3 demonstrations for local school children. On October 29, 2014, Officer Diamond succumbed to a gunshot wound sustained the previous day while performing his duties as a member of the SWAT unit at the age of 45, leaving behind his mother and two children. This resolution designating a portion of I-10 in his honor acknowledges the significant role Officer Diamond played in his community.
