A state agency recognized the detectives of the Covina Police Department this month for excellence in investigating a Christmas Eve massacre in which nine people were murdered, authorities said.

Covina detectives are an example for other detectives in small towns. They took this case seriously and were able to find the murderer with their own intelligence.

It's always been said that "you always can tell what people are made of by how they handle an adverse situation". I have never been more proud of the our local police dept. GREAT JOB everyone involved and our prayers are still for the grieving survivers.

Our family has great respect for the Covina Police Dept. They have always responded to our concerns and are friendly and professional. Keep up the great work that you do.

Not to take any credit away from the detectives but it does seem like the suspect was known by victims at the time of the shooting (per 911 tape released) and the suspect committed suicide. You wouldn't think there was too much investigation involved in this crime. It was probably the most media covered crime at the time and was even covered on the east coast and CNN. Sounds like the case was a slam dunk .
Would be curious as to the other cases that were considered for this award.
