THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. I AM
SADDENED TO BE RISING AGAIN. TO
ADJOURN THE STATE ASSEMBLY THE
MEMORY OF YET ANOTHER RIVERSIDE
COUNTY DEPUTY SHERIFF KILLED IN
LINE OF DUTY LAST FRIDAY ON
JANUARY 13TH OF 2023. DEPUTY
DARNELL CALHOUN WAS KILLED.
RESPONDING TO A DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE CALL IN THE CITY OF
LAKE ELSINORE. HE WAS ONLY 30
YEARS OLD. DEPUTY CALHOUN WAS
HIRED BY THE SAN DIEGO POLICE
DEPARTMENT IN 2019 AND GRADUATED
AT 121ST REGIONAL ACADEMY IN
FEBRUARY OF 2020. HE WAS A
PATROL OFFICER OUT OF THE
NORTHEASTERN DIVISION AND WAS A
BELOVED AND RESPECTED MEMBER OF
THAT DEPARTMENT. DEPUTY CALHOUN
LATER LATERAL TO THE RIVERSIDE
COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT LESS
THAN A YEAR AGO IN FEBRUARY OF
2022. HE TRANSFERRED TO THE
RIVERSIDE SHERIFF'S OFFICE
BECAUSE OF THE OFFICES, HIGH
MORALE UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF
SHERIFF CHAD BIANCO AND BECAUSE
HE WANTED TO WORK CLOSER TO HIS
HOME IN LAKE ELSINORE. DEPUTY
CALHOUN EXPLAINED TO A REPORTER
IN AN INTERVIEW LAST YEAR THAT
HE WANTED TO BECOME A POLICE
OFFICER TO HELP PEOPLE. HE
STATED. I ENJOY GETTING OUT AND
ASSISTING PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT
WAYS. I LIKE TO WATCH OVER THOSE
WHO CAN'T HELP THEMSELVES AND
PROTECT THEM FROM PEOPLE WHO FOR
LACK OF A BETTER WORD, SUCK. HE
WAS A FATHER TO TWO YOUNG BOYS
AND HIS WIFE IS CURRENTLY
PREGNANT AND EXPECTING A THIRD
BOY. A BOY WHO WILL NEVER MEET
HIS FATHER HERE ON EARTH. NOT
ONLY DID OUR COMMUNITY LOSE A
DISTINGUISHED PUBLIC SERVANT
LAST YEAR BUT A FAMILY LOST A
LOVING FATHER AND HUSBAND.
DEPUTY CALHOUN'S FAMILY RELEASED
A STATEMENT YESTERDAY STATING
HIS LIFE CUT SHORT IS A
BLESSING. OUR FAITH IN JESUS
WILL CARRY US THROUGH THIS AND
WE KNOW WE WILL BE REUNITED WITH
DARRYL. ONCE AGAIN, DARNELL.
SORRY. ONCE AGAIN. HIS LIFE, HIS
COMMITMENT AND DEDICATION TO HIS
FAMILY AND HIS COMMUNITY WILL
REMAIN AN INSPIRATION. HE WAS A
GENUINE KIND. LOYAL AND HAD THE
HEART OF A SERVANT. WE WILL TAKE
GREAT COMFORT IN KNOWING THAT
DARNELL LED A LIFE WELL LIVED.
WE ARE GRATEFUL TO OUR
COMMUNITY. THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY
SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AROUND THE
COUNTRY THAT HAVE UPLIFTED US.
THE RESPONSE FROM THE COMMUNITY
HAS BEEN TREMENDOUS. THE
RESIDENTS OF RIVERSIDE COUNTY
LOVE THEIR LAW ENFORCEMENT
COMMUNITY IN OUR HEARTS ACHE FOR
THE DEPARTMENT AND THE FAMILIES
OF THE FALLEN DEPUTIES. THIS IS
OUR SECOND FULL WEEK OF SESSION.
THIS IS MY SECOND ADJOURNMENT, A
GERMAN AND MEMORY BOTH OF WHICH,
FOR RIVERSIDE COUNTY DEPUTY
SHERIFFS. THE DEPARTMENT HADN'T
HAD A LINE OF DEPUTY DEATH IN
TWO DECADES, AND NOW WE'VE LOST
TWO DEPUTIES IN TWO WEEKS. THIS
IS NOT NORMAL AND THIS CANNOT BE
OUR NEW NORMAL. IN THIS
DIFFICULT TIME WE RELY ON FAITH.
DEPUTY CALHOUN'S FAMILIES
RELYING HEAVILY ON FAITH TO GET
THROUGH THIS TIME. TO GIVE THEM
PEACE, COMFORT AND GUIDANCE.
AMONG THE SCRIPTURE HIS FAMILY
INVOKED IS FROM THE BOOK OF
MATTHEW. BLESSED ARE THE
PEACEMAKERS FOR THEY SHALL BE
CALLED THE CHILDREN OF GOD. GOD
BLESS YOU, DEPUTY DARNELL
CALHOUN. I ADJOURNED THE STATE
ASSEMBLY TODAY IN YOUR MEMORY.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR ASTLEY.
AND SOME OF THEM WERE WALLACE.
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED YOUR DESK FOR
YOUR ADJOURNMENT AND MEMORY.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER MEMBERS.
IT IS WITH GREAT SADNESS THAT I
RISE TODAY TO ASK THIS BODY TO
ADJOURN IN THE MEMORY OF
RIVERSIDE COUNTY DEPUTY SHERIFF
DARNELL CALHOUN, WHO WAS SHOT
AND KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY.
LAST FRIDAY. JANUARY 13TH DEPUTY
SHERIFF CALHOUN STARTED HIS
CAREER AS A POLICE OFFICER IN
THE SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT
AND MOVED TO RIVERSIDE COUNTY
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT JUST LAST
FEBRUARY TO BE CLOSER TO HIS
FAMILY. DEPUTY CALHOUN WAS A SON
, A HUSBAND, A GRANDSON, A LOYAL
FRIEND, A FATHER OF TWO BOYS
WITH ANOTHER CHILD ON THE WAY. A
CHILD WHO WILL NEVER KNOW THE
WARM EMBRACE OF HIS FATHER. I'M
HEARTSICK DEPUTY. CALHOUN HAS
BEEN DESCRIBED AS CHEERFUL,
POSITIVE. GOOD. WHOLESOME AND
ENCOURAGE HER A PROTECTOR AND A
MENTOR. HE TRULY REPRESENTED THE
SERVICE ABOVE SELF CREED OF THE
RIVERSIDE COUNTY SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT. SHERIFF CHAD BIANCO
SAID ABOUT DEPUTY CALHOUN. HE
ANSWERED THE CALL TO SERVE
DEFENDANT PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY.
DEPUTY CALHOUN WAS A LEADER IN
COMMUNITY POLICING. HE BELIEVED
IN PEOPLE AND HIS ABILITY TO
SPEAK TO THE COMMUNITY WITH
RESPECT, MEET THEM WHERE THEY
ARE IN LIFE, TRY TO UNDERSTAND
THEIR NEEDS AND WORK TOGETHER TO
FIND SOLUTIONS TO THE ISSUES
THEY WERE FACING. Tð DARNELL
BEING A POLICE OFFICER IN SAN
DIEGO AND DEPUTY AND RIVERSIDE
WAS ABOUT MAKING THE COMMUNITY A
BETTER AND SAFER PLACE FOR
EVERYONE. DEPUTY CALHOUN IS
EXACTLY THE TYPE OF MODERN LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICER THAT WE NEED
IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS TO BUILD A
TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
LAW ENFORCEMENT AND COMMUNITIES.
THAT'S THE MAN THAT RESPONDED TO
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND CHILD
CUSTODY CALL. WE DON'T YET KNOW
ALL THE DETAILS AS TO WHAT
HAPPENED LAST FRIDAY. ALL WE
KNOW IS THAT HE WAS A DEDICATED
OFFICER OF THE LAW, WHO ARRIVED
ON THE SCENE WITH A HEART FULL
OF LOVE FOR HIS FAMILY, HIS
COMMUNITY AND HIS DEPARTMENT
READY TO PROTECT AND SERVE. AND
HE DIDN'T COME HOME. HE LEAVES
THE DEPARTMENT ALREADY
DEVASTATED BY THE LAST TWO WEEKS
AGO OF DEPUTY ISAIAH CORDERO. HE
LEAVES PARENTS WITHOUT A SON, A
WIFE WITHOUT A HUSBAND. AND
THREE CHILDREN WITHOUT A FATHER
. WE EXTEND OUR CONDOLENCES TO
HIS WIFE, HIS CHILDREN, HIS
PARENTS. HIS EXTENDED FAMILY AND
THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT. WE'RE GRATEFUL TO
DEPUTY SHERIFF DARNELL CALHOUN
AND WILL HONOR HIS MEMORY. I
ASKED THAT THIS BODY ADJOURNED
TODAY IN THE MEMORY OF RIVERSIDE
COUNTY DEPUTY SHERIFF DARNELL
CALHOUN. THANK YOU, MR WALLACE.
AND SOME OF THE WOMEN SANCHEZ,
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED AT YOUR DESK
FOR YOUR ADJOURNMENT IN MEMORY.
COLLEAGUES IT IS WITH GREAT
SORROW TODAY THAT I WE RISE TO
ADJOURN IN MEMORY OF RIVERSIDE
COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTY DARNELL
CALHOUN LAST FRIDAY AFTERNOON
DURING A CHILD CUSTODY DISPUTE
IN THE LAKE ELSINORE AREA DEPUTY
CALHOUN WAS FATALLY SHOT DEPUTY
CALHOUN WAS A LONGTIME MARIETTA
RESIDENTS WHOSE FAMILY HAD
SERVED THE COMMUNITY FOR YEARS
AT THEIR ESTABLISHMENT. CALHOUN
TEXAS BARBECUE, WHICH IS A
BELOVED ESTABLISHMENT IN OUR
AREA, DEPUTY CALHOUN WAS
INCREDIBLY PROUD WHEN HE BECAME
PART OF THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IN FEBRUARY
OF 2022 SHERIFF CHAD BIANCO
STATED THAT DEPUTY CALHOUN NEVER
HAD A NEGATIVE THING TO SAY. AND
WAS EXTREMELY ADMIRED AND
RESPECTED BY HIS FAILURE. FELLOW
DEPUTIES WE SEND OUR PRAYERS AND
DEEPEST SYMPATHIES TO HIS
FAMILY, FRIENDS AND THE DEPUTIES
WHO SERVED WITH HIM. AS A MOTHER
. IT IS HEARTBREAKING TO KNOW
THAT HE HAS LEFT BEHIND TWO
SMALL CHILDREN AND A WIFE WHO'S
CURRENTLY EXPECTING ANOTHER
CHILD. OUR STATE MUST DO BETTER
TO PROTECT THOSE WHO PROTECT US
EVERY DAY. MAY WE NEVER FORGET
THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE THAT HE
MADE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. WE HONOR
DEPUTY CALHOUN'S INCREDIBLE
SERVICE AND BRAVERY AND WITH
MUCH RESPECT AND GRATITUDE, I
HUMBLY REQUEST THAT ARE THIS
BODY ADJOURNS IN HIS MEMORY
TODAY? THANK YOU. THANK YOU,
MISS SANCHEZ. AND
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S RODRIGUEZ.

13TH. IN LESS THAN THREE WEEKS,
RIVERSIDE COUNTY SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT AND OUR COMMUNITY
HAVE LOST TWO LEADERS WHO
TREATED THEIR COMMUNITY WITH
RESPECT AND DIGNITY. FROM ALL
ACCOUNTS. DEPUTY CALHOUN WAS
CHEERFUL, POSITIVE MAN WHO WAS
WELL RESPECTED AND BELIEVED IN
PEOPLE. HE WORKED HARD TO MAKE
THIS COMMUNITY BETTER PLACE AND
SAFER FOR EVERYONE. I HOPE THAT
JUSTICE IS FOUND ON BEHALF OF
DEPUTY CALHOUN. AND CORDERO

THE FAMILIES IN OUR PRAYERS,
