The Beverly Hills Police Officers Benevolent Fund held its annual gala on Sept. 26 at Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills to honor police officers who have made outstanding contributions to the community. BHPD Chief Mark Stainbrook announced several awards throughout the night. It was also a chance for the community to mingle with the BHPD and raise money for the Beverly Hills Police Officers Benevolent Fund. During a live auction, they raised a total of $57,000, and the event raised over $1 million for the third year in a row.
Throughout the sold-out event, guests had a chance to enjoy an open bar and hors-d’oeuvres with the City Council, Stainbrook, Beverly Hills Police Officers and hundreds of community members. The awards ceremony kicked off with local singer and actor, 13-year-old Malea Emma giving a resounding rendition of our National Anthem. Then Board President, Officer Christian Bond presented the first award, Sergeant of the Year to Sergeant Billy Fair. This is the second year in a row that Fair has received the award for his outstanding leadership.
