          Purpose.  The author introduced this bill to honor the life and  
          service of Police Detective Tommy De La Rosa.

          Background on Officer De La Rosa.  Detective De La Rosa was born  
          on May 12, 1947, and served his country during the Vietnam War  
          while in the Marine Corps. 

          Detective De La Rosa joined the Fullerton Police Department on  
          September 26, 1980.  While off-duty, Detective De La Rosa liked  
          to speak with children from neighborhoods heavy with drugs,  
          gangs, and prostitution and urge them to be good and stay in  
          school.

          On June 21, 1990, Detective De La Rosa was ambushed and shot  
          five times during an undercover reverse sting narcotics  
          operation, but was still able to return fire and fatally wound  
          one of the suspects before succumbing to his injuries.  Three  
          other suspects were convicted of Detective De La Rosa's murder  
          and were sentenced to life without parole.

          Detective De La Rosa was survived by his wife and four children.
