The Board of Trustees for the Indio Police Officers, John Rose Memorial consists of The Indio Chief of Police, The President of the Indio POA, and now that our founder is no longer with us, five (5) members from the community.  All members on the Board are volunteers.  We pay no salaries, so all monies donated by the men and women of the Indio Police Department and the general public are deposited directly into the Trust accounts for emergencies and scholarships.

Our Vice Chairman, Rick Diaz, passed away on Thursday, February 6th at the age of 79.  Rick has served on many Boards and Charities and was extremely proud of the City of Indio and the Indio Police Department. Per his request, no services are planned at this time.  To honor Rick, donations can be made in his name to his favorite charity, the Indio Police Officers Memorial, by emailing Adela Rose at IndioPoliceOfficersMemorial@gmail.com.  Our thoughts are with his wife Nancy, his children and grandchildren.

Adela worked closely with the charity's founder, her husband, John Rose.  Together they made the Indio Police Officers Memorial a reality and a recognized 501(c)(3).  Adela handles all of the charity's correspondence for the Chairman and the Board of Trustees.  Adela also maintains all the books necessary for tax filings and reporting to State and Federal agencies on behalf of the Memorial.  She is who you will talk to when you call or email the office.
