DACA recipient becomes UC Davis Police officer

A bit of good news!  The UC Davis Police Department recently hired its first officer who is a DACA recipient. The opportunity was made possible by a new state law.

In December, Officer Ernesto Moron was sworn in.  “I was excited to start and help out my community here at UC Davis,” he said.  He graduated from the university in 2020. Moron “was born in Jalisco, Mexico and came to the United States when he was five years old. His family came to this country with hopes for a better life.”
