PSA Ella, interns Victor and Ruby, and Chief Saadat were all part of the event and enjoyed engaging with students throughout the day.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the unexpected passing of Gustavo Barroso, a beloved member of the MiraCosta College Police Department family, who tragically passed away in his sleep at just 29 years old. Gus was more than a dedicated police officer - he was a son, brother, and friend whose kindness and generosity touched everyone he met.
