Sacramento, CA...Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. joined Attorney General Xavier Becerra on October 29th to present the Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor to five public safety leaders from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the Yuba County Sheriff’s Department who went above and beyond the call of duty. “American democracy is not going to work if it’s just based on self-interest or people trying to get what they want. It’s also based on serving a much higher ideal,” said Governor Brown. “Men and women in uniform demonstrate that more than anyone – and that’s why we have a medal of valor and honor these individuals today.”
Attorney General Becerra; Yuba County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Sheriff Dan Harris; CHP’s Officer Pete Gavitte, Officer Phil Agdeppa, Officer Whitney Lowe and Officer Chad Millward; and Governor Brown. |
