Remembering Police Captain Richard Zbinden

Remembering Pomona Police Captain Richard Zbinden 

End of Watch: Tuesday, August 13, 1991 

Today, we solemnly commemorate Captain Richard Zbinden, who succumbed to a gunshot wound on August 13, 1991. The wound, sustained several years earlier, forced him out of work for two years. Nevertheless, he returned to duty and advanced to the rank of Captain before ultimately succumbing to the injury. The suspect responsible for the shooting was convicted.

Captain Zbinden had been with Pomona PD for 25 years and was survived by his wife and three sons. This morning, a private ceremony was held outside the Station, where we observed a moment of silence in his honor.
