On May 23,2003, Sergeant Rene Hernandez, who was assigned to Century Station, passed away in an off duty traffic accident while driving home from Palm Springs.

The men and women of Century Station organized the Century Station Memorial Ride in honor of Rene Hernandez, to assist his family in their time of need.

Over the next couple of years, Century Station suffered more losses and the memorial ride benefitted their families as well.

The benefit ride was brought to a brief stop after the sudden transfer of some of the original organizers of the event.

On 06-29-07, Deputy Corral who was on loan to Century Station was involved in an off duty collision with a drunk driver, paralyzing Deputy Corral from the waist down.

As a result of this incident the memorial ride was re-established and agreed to include officers critically injured and ones with long term illnesses.

The fund committee consist of three deputies one sergeant and one civilian employee. The contributions made depend on the fund availability. The fund is monitored by Century Station Captain James J. Hellmold. A yearly audit is mandated and available for any station personnel to review.
