Two Detectives Honored for Heroism | Fresno News
Description
In a deeply emotional ceremony, Tulare County honored fallen Detective Randy Hoppert with the department’s highest honor, the Medal of Valor, for his ultimate sacrifice during a deadly civil eviction shootout. Also receiving the award was SWAT Detective Hector Negrete, who risked his life to save Hoppert that day — his second Medal of Valor, earned earlier for rescuing a family from a burning home. Sheriff Mike Boudreaux called the event a painful reopening of old wounds, as first responders including dispatchers and deputies were also recognized for their bravery under fire. Their collective courage in the face of extreme danger stands as a powerful testament to the selfless service of law enforcement.
