DONOR AND SPONSOR APPRECIATION COOKOUT

The Lynchburg Police Foundation hosted a cookout September 3 to recognize its donors and sponsors at the LPD Training Center. Attendees were treated to hamburgers and hot dogs with all the fixings...and custom-designed cookies. LPD Tactical and K-9 Units gave demonstrations that showcased LPD's skills and specialized equipment. Chief Ryan Zuidema spoke to the crowd on what was his last appearance as he steps down from the Lynchburg position and prepares to head to Wilmington, NC, to assume the position as Chief of Police. Thanks to sponsors Blackwater Financial Group and Sam's Club who supported this event.
