All Long Beach Auxiliary Police Officers and Probationary Officers are urged to participate in General Meetings.
In light of the several upcoming weekend events, the meeting was held on a Thursday night.
There was a General Meeting for all uniform and probationary officers. A lot of important information and heads up on upcoming events were discussed. Any officers that missed the meeting should speak with their night supervisor for any updates. 
We got together a crack team to detail our vehicles. This is important as our vehicles are often the first impression that our fine unit makes. 
Along with the Good Shepard Hospice, the Long Beach Auxiliary Police collected toys for this holiday season for children who have lost a parent or a loved one.
Five Long Beach Auxiliary Police officers were among the thirty-two graduates of the Nassau County Auxiliary Police Academy. This intensive and impressive training spanned 26 weeks and offered phenomenal resources, experience and training. Long Beach Police Department and Auxiliary Police attended as a unit to both congratulate our members and meet and chat with our brethren in the County. Family and friends of the graduates were also proudly present. The ceremony was followed by celebratory meal.
