Yesterday, the El Monte Police Department proudly celebrated the graduation of T.O.R.C.H. Class #51. Over the course of this transformative 13-week program, participants demonstrated dedication, growth, and a commitment to making positive choices for their future.

Through the continued partnership between the City of El Monte and the El Monte Police Department, T.O.R.C.H. continues to empower our youth, build character, and create opportunities for success, making a lasting difference one step at a time.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our elected representatives, including Susan Rubio, for their continued support and investment in the future of our community’s youth.

Councilwoman Marisol Cortez surprised our TORCH students with a special visit this morning, demonstrating her continued commitment to supporting youth programs and positive community engagement.

The Teaching Obedience, Respect, Courage, and Honor (TORCH) program is designed to provide mentorship, corrective behavior support, motivation, exposure to trade school opportunities, and encouragement for students to continue making positive choices and succeeding academically.

The El Monte Police Department appreciates Councilwoman Cortez for taking the time to connect with our students and for her ongoing support of initiatives that help guide and inspire the next generation of leaders.
