Joshua K. Sundquist, Commissioner
In light of the several upcoming weekend events, the meeting was held on a Thursday night.
The meeting was a launching pad to prepare for the several big events coming up. There was also an exchange of ideas about upcoming events, trainings and social venues.
Despite the heavy rains the March of Dimes held a successful annual March for Babies on the boardwalk. They estimated that there were 300 or so participants.
The five mile walk began and ended on the Boardwalk at Riverside Boulevard.

There was a nice auxilairy police presence for this event.
The proud Little Leaguers, their family and supporters marched through the streets of Long Beach just in time for a fun and busy playing season. The participants marched along Park Avenue to the Lindell School. It is a fun event in which our local kids get to have the City stop the traffic to recognize them and show them our support. As this is a parade, it required the monitoring and closing of many intersections throughout the event. It is important that we have a strong showing of officers to assist with such an event. After a slow special-event season, this event served as a good refresher for most officers and a valuable training for those who recently got into uniform.
