Watch: Agent Byrd memorialized at training center, CMF

Two CDCR memorial ceremonies honored fallen Parole Agent Joshua Byrd, marking one year since his passing.

CMF honors Agent Byrd

“While we can’t erase the pain of loss, we can ensure the life and service of Josh are never forgotten. Today is more than dedicating a memorial bench. It is about preserving a legacy, recognizing a life that mattered, a career that made a difference and a family whose sacrifice is forever woven into the history of this institution.”
CMF Warden S. Williams
