I drove past the old Firestone Station yesterday afternoon. There are many memories and incidents flowing through the building and beyond that have shaped the department today.
Your contribution will not be forgotten.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 51rst anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
Rest In Peace
