Tributes

I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Investigator Aviles-Olivo gave the Puerto Rico Police Department 19 years.
Thank you for your service to the San Juan community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
