Long Beach Auxiliary Police Dept

Long Beach is known for one of the largest and finest Memorial Day parades in all of New York.  The pride of our community is also some of the finest around and the streets are filled with our neighbors who show their support and thanks to those who volunteer their services and in some cases regrettably their lives to keep us all safe.  Marching from the West End to City Hall are many community service providers, organizations, schools and our public service and safety providers.

For the Long Beach Auxiliary Police, this is one of our largest events.  We not only assist in traffic and crowd control, but march and ride in the parade as well.

Muster for the parade will be at 8AM  at 7:45 AM (so that the annual picture can be taken) at Long Beach Police Headquarters. Please note your availability on the Duty Board!

This year the annual unit photograph will be taken before the parade detail.

Memorial Day is also when the Auxiliary Police, in full dress uniform have their annual picture taken on the steps of the Long Beach Police Department.

The start of the fun and exciting summer season in Long Beach kickstarts with the 35th annual City Manager’s Manager’s 10-Mile Trophy Run, “A Salute to Our Veterans,” on Sunday, May 29th at 8:00 a.m.

One of the biggest on-road events on the Long Beach calendar, the City Manager’s Race requires all of the Auxiliary Police resources.  The race crosses over 60 intersections as hundreds of runners traverse the City streets and boardwalk.

We expect many runners and supportive spectators throughout the course.

Early registration fee will be $20 before Friday, May 27th at 5:00 p.m. at the Long Beach Recreation Center on Magnolia Blvd. at West Bay Drive. Late registration will take place at the Long Beach Ice Arena at 150 West Bay Drive, next to the Recreation Center beginning at 6:30 a.m.  You can also register online at www.active.com .

This is an “all-hands event” for the Auxiliary Police who will be safeguarding the runners while providing vehicular traffic and pedestrian control.

Muster will be at 7AM at Long Beach Police Department Headquarters. Officers should note their availability on the Duty Board.

From May 9 to May 21, 2011 the Cure A.L.S. Ride to Life will run from the East End of Long Island to Manhattan.

On Friday May 20, 2011 the Ride for Life will hit the streets of Long Beach. The 10.4 mile ride will start on the Boardwalk on Neptune Boulevard and continue West through Long Beach into Atlantic Beach. It will travel over the Atlantic Beach Bridge onto Nassau Expressway (878) and East onto Central Avenue. At Woodmere Boulevard the ride will head North to Peninsula Boulevard and will turn West ending one block shy of Rockaway Turnpike.

Ride for Life’s mission is to raise public awareness of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, assist research in finding a cure, support ALS patients and their familes, and provide the ALS community with the latest ALS related news and information. ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

The Auxiliary Police will assist with traffic and pedestrian control as the ride proceeds through Long Beach.

Please check the duty board for details.

Our proud Little Leaguers, their family and supporters will march through the streets of Long Beach just in time for a fun and busy playing season.  The participants will march 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 requires 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 will serve as a good refresher for most officers and a valuable training for those who recently got into uniform.

Muster will be at 9AM at Long Beach Police Department Headquarters.

The Parade will start at the Lindell School. It will head South on Lindell Boulevard and then East onto Park Avenue. At National Boulevard it will turn North and conclude at the Recreation Center Ballfield.
