I’d like to personally welcome home Hesperia Police Department Deputy Dustin Whitson, who was shot in the line of duty outside Aldi in Hesperia on March 23, 2021. When Deputy Whitson was hospitalized, he had a slim chance for survival. But thanks to the care of his doctors and surgeons, and support from colleagues, friends, and family, he made a miraculous recovery. Deputy Whitson was discharged from Loma Linda Hospital on May 12, and received a hero’s welcome from family, friends and colleagues at the Hesperia Station. Great to see you back, Deputy Whitson!
