Longtime resident Vera Markowitz and Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) Acting Captain Max Subin walked into Pascal on Beverly Drive in the midst of the Saturday brunch crowd on June 5. Markowitz, laden with a stack of glossy flyers for the city’s new Just In Case BH program, made a beeline for the cashier; Subin, weighed down by his utility belt, followed close behind.
The cashier, sensing that this might be above his pay grade, fetched Pascal owner Bruno Marcy. On cue, Markowitz gave him her pitch for Just In Case, the city’s effort to harden its communities for potential threats and crises.
