The Moreno Valley Police Department recently held its 22nd Annual Awards Dinner to honor its volunteers, reserves, and explorers.
Special guests included Mayor Pro Tem Victoria Baca and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco.
Award recipients were presented with plaques and certificates in recognition of their dedication to assisting with the day-to-day operations of the police department.
At the end of the ceremony, Police Explorer Sergeant Jessica Naranjo learned she passed her employment background and was offered fulltime employment as a Sheriff's Service Officer (SSO).
Sheriff Bianco pinned her badge on her that evening and she will be starting her new job as a SSO 1 for the Riverside County Sheriff Department/Moreno Valley Police Station.
Congratulations Officer Naranjo!
