Cordero was a motorcycle officer assigned to Jurupa Valley, a city about 45 miles east of downtown Los Angeles that contracts with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department for policing services. “He was naturally drawn to law enforcement and certainly embodied our motto of service above self," Bianco said. “He was a jokester around the station and all of our deputies considered him their little brother."
