First Responders Memorial Wall in Hemet dedicated to fallen Officer Lesley Zerebny

The community continues to remember Officers Jose 'Gil' Vega and Lesley Zerebny who lost their lives six years ago in the line of duty while serving the Palm Springs Police Department

Later this week, fallen Officer Zerebny is being commemorated in her hometown.

The 'Officer Lesley Zerebny First Responders Memorial Wall' will be dedicated at Diamond Valley Lake Community Park in Hemet at 3 p.m. this Friday, October 14.

The memorial was installed by the Board of Directors of Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District to honor first responders from the area.

Craig Shultz, Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District spokesperson says, "When we thought of the names that should go on there, Lesley was the first one we thought of because she grew up in the area and she also worked for Valley-Wide before she went into her law enforcement career."

Zerebny's sister, Britta Kling says Lesley would've loved the memorial's location near Diamond Valley Lake.

"There's mountains around it, the lake is up there, it's got this beautiful park next to it. I would say just try and find the beauty in it because Lesley would have done that," says Kling.

Before joining the Palm Springs Police Department, Zerebny worked for the San Jacinto-based District. Zerebny is also originally from Hemet.
