The Somerton Police Department extends our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of retired San Luis Police Department Chief Miranda during this difficult time.

Chief Miranda proudly served the Somerton Police Department for five years, dedicating himself to protecting and serving our community with integrity, professionalism, and compassion. His commitment to public service and leadership left a lasting impact on those who had the privilege of serving alongside him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones and everyone mourning this tremendous loss. May they find strength, comfort, and peace in the days ahead.

Rest in peace, Chief Miranda. Your service, dedication, and legacy will never be forgotten.

We would like to share a fundraiser that’s just getting started to honor John Miranda, a dedicated public servant who spent his life protecting our community. His family is hoping to give him a meaningful memorial, and even a small share can help more people see this. Please consider sharing or donating if you can every bit of support means a lot during this difficult time. 🙏

Our family is heartbroken by the loss of our beloved father, grandfather,… Cynthia Derico needs your support for Honoring the Life and Legacy of John Miranda
