Growing up, Santa Paula’s Randy Mendoza had two dreams:
✅ Playing professional soccer
✅ Joining the law enforcement community
He achieved them both.
In today’s episode of Somos Comunidad, we chart Randy’s journey from the 805 to Major League Soccer and back again, where today, he serves as a police officer.
He embodies what’s possible with drive, hard work and a supportive family, and is an inspiration to the next generation of talent in the 805, who might one day play for Santa Barbara Sky FC.
