Per: Los Angeles County Sheriff Department Sheriff Robert G. Luna:
On behalf of Los Angeles County Sheriff Department Headquarters we mourn the profound loss of Deputy Alfredo “Freddy” Flores, who tragically passed away last night following a valiant fight for recovery from injuries sustained in the line of duty.
Freddy graduated from academy class #327 and honorably served the residents of Los Angeles County for 22 years and will forever be remembered. He was assigned to several units during his tenure, including the North County Correctional Facility, Operations Safe Jails, Altadena Station, and, most recently, the Sylmar Juvenile Court at Court Services West Bureau. He made a unique contribution to all these assignments.
Deputy Flores was not just a colleague but a beacon of strength, earning the respect of both his peers and the community he served. His sudden departure has left an immense void in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him. Freddy is survived by his wife, children, and parents.
We stand with the Flores family, his friends and colleagues during this difficult time, offering our deepest condolences and unwavering support.
