WASHINGTON, D.C. (Press Release)– Congresswoman Susan A. Davis (D-San Diego) moved to honor fallen San Diego Police Officer Jonathan “J.D.” De Guzman by introducing legislation to name a local post office after Officer De Guzman.
“Officer De Guzman is no longer with us but we can ensure that his name lives on,” said Davis. “He made the ultimate sacrifice in protecting our community. This bill will mean that future generations will know and understand the commitment Officer De Guzman and all our law enforcement officers make on behalf of San Diegans.”
Davis’s bill will designate the postal facility on Kuhn Drive in Chula Vista, where he lived, as the “Jonathan ‘J.D.’ De Guzman Post Office Building.” The entire San Diego congressional delegation joined as original cosponsors of Davis’s legislation.
In July, Officer De Guzman was killed in the line of duty as he and his partner were attempting to question an individual who has since been charged with the shooting.
Davis recently met with the De Guzman family to offer her condolences.
