Antelope Valley Bar Assn. Honors 5 Officers
Five Antelope Valley law enforcement officers were named officers of the year at an Antelope Valley Bar Assn. luncheon Friday.
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy Russ Brown, 43, a 20-year veteran who supervises patrol officers in Palmdale, was named the Antelope Valley station’s deputy of the year. Brown has received numerous commendations for outstanding police work, including a 1986 incident in which he disarmed and subdued a man who entered the sheriff’s station lobby armed with a shotgun. He also arrested a murder suspect in Littlerock, about 15 miles east of Palmdale, last year.
Also honored were Deputy Robert Kuczera of the Antelope Valley Court Services Division; Corrections Officer Raymond E. Sanders of the sheriff’s Mira Loma facility; California Highway Patrol Officer Henry Ross Jr., and Deputy Ricky Stamps of the office of the Lancaster Marshal of Municipal Courts.
