“Officer Dean Esquibel made the ultimate sacrifice while performing his sworn duty,” said Salas. “In recognition thereof, we pause to honor him, a fallen hero, by recalling his devotion, celebrating his life, and honoring his service with this appreciation.”
In recognition of Officer Esquibel’s devotion to duty, Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 69, enacted as Resolution Chapter 143 of the Statues of 2013, designates the Cross Creek Bridge on State Route 198 in Kings County as the CHP Officer Dean Esquibel Memorial Bridge.
Officer Esquibel entered the CHP Patrol Academy in 1984 and upon graduation, wearing Badge No. 11289, he was assigned to the Hanford Area Office where he proudly served the Department.
