| Advisory: LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT'S AND HELEN REARDON VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR RECOGNITION AWARD Dear Nixle User, WHO: Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Community Partnerships Bureau. WHAT: 2015 Volunteer of the Year pinning ceremony and Helen Reardon Volunteer of the Year Recognition Award. Please join Sheriff Jim McDonnell and members of his command staff in honoring the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s volunteers. Sheriff’s Department volunteers have been an inspiration to the community and have worked side by side with sworn personnel. The selfless hours generously donated by the Sheriff’s Department’s nearly 3,600 volunteers totaled 450,993 hours in 2014, which if given a dollar figure equivalent would amount to $11,162,079. This unselfish giving has been instrumental in the success of the Sheriff’s Department’s volunteer and community outreach programs. Each year the volunteer coordinator nominates one volunteer per station or unit. The nomination is based on several factors, including accountability, leadership, a “can do” attitude, professionalism, compassion, respect for diversity, and customer orientation. One volunteer is then chosen by a panel and awarded the title, “Helen Reardon Volunteer of the Year.” The award was named in recognition of Helen Reardon who was significant in the founding and formalizing of the volunteer program within the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department in the mid-1980s under Sheriff Sherman Block. Volunteers who have achieved significant hours of 5,000 to 20,000 throughout their volunteer career are awarded a lapel pin with the hours achieved engraved on the pin and presented at the ceremony. WHEN: Saturday, April 18, 2015, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. WHERE: Sheriff’s Training Academy Regional (STAR) Center 11515 Colima Road Whittier, CA 90604 For further information, contact the Community Partnerships Bureau at 562-347-1080.
