Between calls for service, Deputy Romero stopped to help a stranded motorist change a flat tire in Rancho Mirage. Because serving our community goes beyond fighting crime! Sometimes, it’s just about lending a helping hand! 💙🤝

🚨Finders keepers? NOT?🚨

When golf clubs valued at approximately $8,000 fell from a pickup in a local intersection, the person who found them allegedly kept them instead of reporting the discovery to police or trying to locate the owners.

The result? An arrest for misappropriation of found property. After all items were recovered they were returned to their rightful owners! 👏
