Some good law enforcement news for a change...

Two San Diego County sheriff’s deputies are among 13 California heroes who were awarded the Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor, the state’s highest public safety award, for service considered above and beyond the call of duty.

Gov. Jerry Brown and Attorney General Kamala Harris presented the awards Wednesday in Sacramento.

The local recipients were Deputies Scott Bligh and Gary Kneeshaw, who made a daring helicopter rescue that saved the lives of two rock climbers trapped by flames last year on the face of El Cajon Mountain.
