Law enforcement from all over Southern California invaded the Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital campus last week—but for good reason: to put some smiles on the faces of patients being treated at the hospital. Four helicopters, a motorcade of police motorcycles, multiple squad cars and three SWAT vans made their way onto the north lawn of the campus during the 17th annual Cops for Kids Fly-In Tuesday, Oct. 20. After the grand entrance, patients and their families were invited to meet officers and take photos with the bikes, cars, choppers and vans. Loma Linda University Medical Center CEO, Kerry Heinrich acknowledged participating law enforcement for their contribution to the event. “I can not tell you what a difference coming here makes. You make an impression on these kids, so thank you again on behalf of our patients!” Many Loma Linda University Health students and staff also ventured out for the fly-in as well as several community members. Participating law enforcement and organizations were Riverside Police Department, Sheriff and dispatch; Glendale Police Department; Ontario Police Department; Redlands Police Department; San Bernardino County Sheriff Department and SWAT; San Bernardino Police Department, air support and California Highway Patrol; Los Angeles Police Department; Moreno Valley Police; United States Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots; and AIRBUS helicopter.
