In Honor of Deputy David March
Personnel from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department stand watch over the memorial for slain hero Deputy David March.

Temple Deputies remember Deputy March not only on the anniversary of his death, but throughout the year by displaying his call sign, "57" on the rear window of Temple units. Please join the Arcadia Police Department in honoring our partner and slain local hero, Deputy Dave March.Wednesday, April 24, 2013
