Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Just thinking about you today with all the craziness in the world. How officers are being disrespected and attacked. Keep an eye on those that need an angel.

I wanted to take a moment to reflect and to say thank you. Thank you for the 18 years of law enforcement service and brotherhood in a profession where there is an unspoken bond between peace officers both for those partnering together and those who come after. I am currently an LASD recruit and was compelled to show appreciation for your service, personal character, specially since family was the most important thing in your life, law enforcement being the second. Your life both personally and professionally has put into perspective the daily challenges we as recruits and future law enforcement officers will face. I learned that you were an avid runner and scuba diver. You held the title of a comedian. You were known to be the life of the party and a person that everyone gravitated towards. Thank you to you and your family for sharing a little peice of you with us.

Hey George, thanks for watching over us. You gave me the opportunity to experience the life of a police officer. I know you are a blessing in heaven.

George was a Compton Police Detective and I was a Compton Police Officer when I met him sometime in 1970. George and I became roommates and good friends prior to him becoming an Inglewood Police Detective. I have really good memories of all the good and bad times we experienced together. Both our spouses bonded together during the bad times and became friends for a short period of time.

George was a good man, husband and father. I will never forget you, God Bless You and Rest in Peace.

PLEASE HELP STOP THE RELEASE OF A COP KILLER

On March 31, 1988, Joevone Elster and four other Crip Gang Members.senselessly gunned down and murdered my brother Sgt George Aguilar, an 18 year police veteran with the Inglewood Police Dept.

Joevone Elster was the mastermind to rob the gas station that He worked at, which resulted in the murder of Sgt. Aguilar. Sgt Aguilar lost his life at young age of 46 years old, leaving behind 3 young children to grow up without their father

On April 13, 2017, Joveone Elster is up for a parole board hearing to be considered to be released from prison.

Last year there were more police officers shot or killed in the US than in any prior year and releasing a cop killer from prison, sends the wrong message to other criminals or would be murders.

I asked family members, friends, police officers and all those that are apposed to releasing cop killers from prison to send an email to the California Parole Board to let them know that "Cop Killers" should NEVER be set free.

Please send your email to: [email protected] and please make sure to reference:Joevone Elster CDCR# E38375

There not a day goes by that I don't think of you George, I miss you brother, Larry

Well George, It's been over twenty-five years since I've seen, talked and worked with you. Doesn't seem that long ago. I'm now retired. Thinking about it now, makes me sad that you can't be at our annual retirement reunions at the Port's 'O Call. You'd definitely be one of the centers of attention and enjoy it with us Ol' Timers. Miss ya bro!

Little George( little because there was also anther george who was bigger) was a good friend of mine in the early 70s. We worked together at a place called Dougs Headers, witch made exhaust for race cars. George was alot older than me and kind of filled the position of a father since I didn't have one. He was very helpful in teaching me the business that we were in and talking tro me about life.and he was good at it. Even as a teenager you could tell that George was very smart, caring and a lot of fun to be around. George, I want to thank you for helping me when I needed it the most.
I love you my friend.

While watching a "reality television" show about recruits at the LASD Academy, your face and story flashed on the screen for just a moment. It was during the recruits' Officer Safety training module. It took me back to the day & moment in 1988 when I'd phoned an old friend in Communications to "chew the fat." Judy Blake told me about your killing. I still recall that moment today.

George, you taught a green bunch of kids (the first Explorers), including me, way back in 1973 about your job in Narcotics, and encouraged us to stay on track. You were still teaching these academy recruits, just a months ago.

You're still in my prayers.

I read ODMP almost daily and pray that I see no new names. Sadly, there is always someone added to the long list of heroes. I also read about other officers who have paid the ultimate price before. I read about Sgt Aguilar through the comments left by his family, friends and fellow officers. It is obvious to me that he was larger than life. One lady summed it up in a few words: "He was a good cop." That says it all. Although I didn't know him I know I would have liked him. I have spent my entire career bup to this point trying to live up to the examples that men and women like Sgt Aguilar have left behind. Rest in peace Brother. I will meet you when this life is done for me. Bless your family and fellow officers.

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was rough, And sometimes I've been violent Because the streets are tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept an unmanly tear.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't...I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne, where the saints often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"

Shortly after I was hired, we were shown a video recreation of Sgt. Aguilar's incident. It engraved in me the dedication and sacrifice that we as police officers make on a daily basis. From what I was told by my fellow officers at the time, George was a GREAT man. George's legacy will always carry on as long as we remember. George, I remember and always will. RIP SGT.
