A Long Beach tradition, the Turkey Trot is the last run of the fall season. Held on the boardwalk, the Turkey Trot is actually two races in one. The first race is a one mile shortened version for kids. It is followed by the 10k run for adults. Winners went home with Thanksgiving turkeys!
We had an impressive turnout. The race spread quite a bit and fortunately we had the resources to handle the posts. In total, nearly fifty intersections were crossed by the runners. This included crossing Park Avenue, Beech Street and Broadway twice. The bicycle patrol was able to dart through the course- back and forth and on the boardwalk keeping track of the runners and stragglers. The IPMBA trained bicycle patrol unit really shines during events such as this.
Three Long Beach Auxiliary Police officers will be among the latest graduating class of the Nassau County Auxiliary Police Academy. This intensive and impressive training spans 26 weeks and offers phenominal resources, experience and training. Long Beach Auxiliary Police will be attending as a unit to both congratulate our members and meet and chat with our brethren in the County. Family and friends of the graduates are always welcome to attend. The ceremony will be followed by a stop at a restaurant for a celebratory meal.
We are all immensely proud of our graduates who now join the ranks of many other LBAPD officers who committed themselves to these six months of training and to our community-at-large. A job well done and an amazing representation of and testament to the high standards that the Long Beach Auxiliary Police Department has maintained for over 50 years!
The Long Beach Auxiliary Police have been invited by Nassau County to participate in their Gang Awareness Training. The training will be held at Nassau University Medical Center on Monday, November 17th at 7pm.
We had a very strong showing for this important and unique training. Our deepest appreciation to Nassau County for generously offering us 20 seats at this training event.
