The El Cerrito police department is in mourning after one of its officers died over the weekend. Officer Jerrick Bernstine was killed on his 26th birthday, while driving home from work.
His colleagues, who are remembering him, say he was genuine, hard-working, and caring.On Monday afternoon, the officer's body was transported from the coroner's office to a funeral home in Richmond. His sudden death Sunday morning stunned his colleagues and friends.
Bernstine had just gotten off work and was driving on Interstate 80 Eastbound near the San Pablo Dam Road exit in San Pablo about 6:15 Sunday morning. "He's left a legacy. It's going to be hard for our officers to go back to work without him," said Police Chief Paul Keith. "He had such potential for greatness. He was a peron that was going to accomplish great things," Chief Keith said. Bernstine never lost a foot chase with a suspect, likely drawing on his athleticism."So the banners that we have hanging at our school is because of him," Hercules Vice Mayor Alex Walker Griffin said. He's known Bernstine since they were in elementary school.
