LBPD honors recent heroes
Published: May 17, 2005
Heroes who wear the badge, and those without, will be honored at the Long Beach Police Department’s 37th Annual Police Awards ceremony today.
The luncheon, held in the grand ballroom of the Long Beach Convention Center, brings together city dignitaries, community organizations, officers and police department staff, as well as regular citizens who stepped up to the challenge and served as heroes over the past year.
Among the many people to be honored at the fete will be Jay Glatman, who saved a motor patrol officer from far more serious injury last June when he came to the patrolman’s aid.
Glatman was driving when he saw a car make an unexpected U-turn and hit the motor patrol officer’s bike. Glatman used his car to block traffic, then gave the officer first aid and comforted him until paramedics arrived.
The event will begin with a reception at 11:15 a.m., followed by the luncheon and an awards ceremony at noon.
