In 1980, a bank in Norco, California, was
robbed, setting off one of the most violent police pursuits in
American history. The lessons learned from the robbery changed
the face of law enforcement; the Norco bank robbery is still
studied in academies.
In 2000, the Riverside Sheriffs’
Association brought together the law enforcement survivors of
the event to recognize them for their bravery. For many of
them, it was the first time since 1980 they had talked openly
about the day.
There are very few resources on the
internet to learn about the Norco bank robbery. This website is
hosted by the Riverside Sheriffs’ Association with
details gathered for the 2000 memorial. This is perhaps the
most comprehensive account of the robbery available on the
internet.
