Carson's bravest citizens and officers will be honored at "The 4th Annual Distinguished Awards Luncheon" next week.
The luncheon, which is hosted by the Carson Sheriff's Station Foundation and the city of Carson, will recognize a number of citizens and sheriff's deputies who have shown courage in the past year, event organizers said.
"We have officers who put their own safety at risk to protect the public, and we receive invaluable help from residents who report crimes and render assistance to officers in the field," said Carson Sheriff's Station Capt. Bernice Abram. "This annual event commends outstanding individuals for their effort, and also recognizes the partnership between law enforcement and the community that supports effective crime-fighting."
Among the 2010 honorees are the five members of the Violent Crime Suppression Task Force. They are being recognized for crack-downs on gang members in unincorporated areas where illegal activity had reached intolerable levels. Arrests in the affected areas increased by as much as 86 percent compared to the previous year.
The Carson Sheriff's Station, part of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, protects the cities of Carson and unincorporated areas of Gardena, Torrance, Rancho Dominguez and Harbor City.
The Foundation includes residents and business owners who raise funds for equipment for the Sheriff's Station and for community safety programs, according to the foundation.
"The (foundation) was formed five years ago to help bring together the different groups and individuals who have an interest in promoting public safety through preventative measures," said Pilar Hoyos, president of the foundation's board of directors.
The luncheon is planned for Feb. 24th at the Carson Community Center, 801 E. Carson St., and tickets are still available.
