Elmer Jonathan Diaz Lemoore PD Memorial Coin

The First Responder Whiskey Society has partnered with the Lemoore Police Department to release this presale memorial challenge coin for fallen Officer Elmer Jonathan Diaz.  100% of the proceeds from this bottle will go to his family. 

The coins will be sold presale and then ordered from the manufacturer. The coins will take approximately 5-6 weeks to fulfill after the sales officially end. 

Police Officer Jonathan Diaz was shot and killed while intervening in a domestic violence incident while off duty.

He was attending a birthday party at a home on Eddy Street, near Carolyn Avenue, in Hanford when another partygoer was violently assaulted by her boyfriend. Officer Diaz was able to move the woman outside to safety and then returned to the home to de-escalate the incident.

The subject who assaulted the woman was an investigator for another local agency. As Officer Diaz re-entered the home the man opened fire, killing Officer Diaz and wounding his own father. The subject then killed himself.

Officer Diaz had served with the Lemoore Police Department for three years and had previously served with the Huron Police Department for three years. He is survived by three children, parents, and three siblings.

Officer Diaz was the recipient of his agency’s 2018 Officer of the Year award.
