ALTAI Sponsoring Jesse Garcia III Bike Run & Benefit

At ALTAI, we’re constantly blown away by the sacrifices that the men and women that choose to wear our boots make for our great country. Whether it’s by serving overseas or serving in local public service, these brave individuals work hard each and everyday to protect our country, often without any recognition, and sometimes with a bit of ridicule from those who don’t appreciate their service.

Recently we heard about a Minneapolis Police Sergeant Jesse Garcia III, who is a 24-year veteran of the Minneapolis Police Department and was unfortunately recently diagnosed with stage-4 stomach cancer. Jesse is a 1985 graduate of St. Paul Johnson High School and joined the local police force in 1990 and hasn’t left since. Jesse is a family man and has kids that light up his world. He’s been an active contributor to the Minneapolis/St. Paul communities for decades and was even the media spokesperson for the Minneapolis Police Department for many years. Jesse is currently undergoing treatment, but the community has responded in droves to try and support Jesse and his loving family.
