–Langley Choy, who will receive the Walnut Creek Police Department Citizen Commendation Award for assisting in what led to the arrest of a residential burglary suspect.

–Miguel Lopez, who also will receive the department’s Citizen Commendation Award for assisting in what led to the arrest of a felony hit and run suspect.

In addition, the department will give a nod to all newly hired or promoted master officers, police assistants, police reserves, reserve sergeants, reserve lieutenants, police offices, sergeants, lieutenants, and captain.

The ceremony is open to the public. Thanks Sgt. Edwards for letting us know about these regular people who stepped in to help out the community.
