The Office of Peace Officer Selection (OPOS) is proud to share CDCR’s participation in eight Veterans Day parades across California. CDCR Honor Guard, recruiters, and staff marched alongside veterans, their families, and community members to honor the service and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans.
“We are honored to participate in these Veterans Day parades and show our support,” said OPOS Chief Breann Cantu. “OPOS is committed to recognizing our veterans and their families. We believe that these parades are a great way to show appreciation for their service and share our career opportunities.”
