Yesterday we laid to rest a friend and colleague, Sergeant Dennis Moore. Dennis
previously served as a police officer with the Arvin Police Department and joined
the Bakersfield Police Department in 1997. As described by Chief Lyle Martin, “As a
police officer and sergeant, Dennis loved this department, this community and
police work, but more than anything else, Dennis loved his family.” Our thoughts and
prayers remain with his family, friends, and all who loved him.
