The Riverside Police Department is proud to recognize Josh for his outstanding achievements at the Special Olympics!
Josh brought home two gold medals, earning first place in both the 30-meter slalom and 50-meter slalom events. His hard work, determination, and positive attitude are an inspiration to all of us.
Adding to an already memorable experience, Josh was also the very first person to meet Valor, who will be making a special appearance at the Riverside 175th and America’s 250th celebration parade on June 27th!
Please join us in congratulating Josh on his incredible accomplishments and helping us celebrate his success. We look forward to seeing everyone at the parade as Riverside continues to honor its history and remarkable residents!
