Charles's Story
After I graduated from Royal Oak High School, I joined the US Navy. When I completed my military obligation, I returned home to Southern California and joined the Los Angeles Police Department. I spent 32 years on the LAPD and recently retired as a Sergeant in 2006. My last assignment was at Internal Affairs. I had an interesting career on the LAPD. I worked patrol, vice, recruitment, detectives, training, and Internal Affairs. One of my more memorable assignments was the infamous "Hillside Strangler" case. I also returned to school and obtained a college degree in Criminal Justice.
I have been married to my lovely wife Maria for the past 30 years. I have one grown son from a previous marriage that lives in Nevada and three grown children from Maria. My oldest child with Maria followed in my law enforcement footsteps and became...Expand for more
a Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff. My youngest, (daughter) attended Azusa Pacific University and obtained a Bachelors degree in Marketing.
My wife and I currently live in the city of Rancho Cucamonga, California.
I own two Harley Davidson motorcycles. I enjoy riding my Harleys, playing golf, fishing, reading, and watching my beloved Los Angeles Dodgers.
I often think of what some of my Royal Oak High School classmates did with their lives. Nevertheless, I hope that "everyone" fullfilled or is still fullfilling their dreams and making the most of our time on earth. God Bless the ones we lost early.
And God Bless Mr Sam Cipriano, our late Vice Principal. Sam was a friend, a mentor, and good Italian American. I will never forget him. They dont make educators like Sam anymore. I loved the guy.
