Sgt. Hector Mancinas announced Song’s plans to transfer in an email notice Tuesday. The sergeant said Capt. Christopher Blasnek would step in also on April 2 to lead the station on Briggs Avenue.

An area resident who attended Rosemont Middle School and Crescenta Valley High School, a newly arrived Song told the Valley Sun in May 2013 returning to La Crescenta “feels like coming back home.”
