| Advisory: Pico Rivera Deps Fulfill Promise to Play Football Game after Kid Keeps Good Grades, Stays out of Trouble, Whittier Dear Pepperdine Libboard, On Thursday, February 25, 2016, Pico Rivera Station deputies were called to a Whittier area elementary school regarding a student who had brought a knife to school. Field Training Officer Deputy Roberto Catalan and his training partner, Deputy Eberto Loera, contacted 10 year-old James and detained him. As their investigation progressed, Deputy Catalan came to believe that James was not a delinquent; just a child who needed guidance. Digging a little deeper, Deputy Catalan discovered that James was the youngest of five children to a single mother. His siblings were significantly older than him, and his mother, Esther, worked two jobs to support them. Due to the incident at the school, James was relocated to another elementary school. Deputy Catalan recognized the need in James’ life and began to provide continued guidance to him. He would meet with James weekly to go over his school week and the decisions he had made. James has since made new friends and is now involved with the school counseling program. He has developed a new love of reading and his favorite subject remains math! James is also a huge football fan, prompting Deputy Catalan to make a deal with him. If he kept his grades up and stayed out of trouble, deputies from Pico Rivera Station would play a flag football game against James and his friends. On Saturday, May 28th, 2016, Deputy Catalan will make good on his promise! James and his mother Esther would love to have fans cheer both teams on from the football field sidelines of Pioneer High School (10800 Benavon Street, Whittier). The game is scheduled to start at 7:30 a.m. We would love to see you there. For media inquiries, please contact Lieutenant Wilkins, Pico Rivera Station at (562) 949-2421.
