Today, we held a formal promotional and swearing-in ceremony. The Alhambra Police family gained three corporals, two sergeants, and one lieutenant. We also added seven police officers, one dispatcher, one clerk, and two police service officers to the APD family. Three out of the seven police officers came with experience from other law enforcement agencies and the other four recently completed the police academy and are now assigned to the Patrol Section.
Please join us in congratulating everyone on their new assignments and welcoming our newest members. Here are a few photos of the ceremony.

Happy Birthday Buddy!
Not COVID-19 or a little rain can’t stop our officers from wishing a young boy a happy birthday. Our young resident was so happy to see our officers drive by to celebrate his special day.
In times like this, it’s important to be creative and spread joy throughout our community.
Happy Birthday to all who are celebrating a birthday in April.

Looks like rain is expected tomorrow early morning and continuing for the next few days.
Please remember these safety tips when driving in the rain:
1. Take your time. Slowing down is the only way to keep your vehicle from hydroplaning.
2. Turn your headlights on to help other vehicles see you and when using your windshield wipers.
3. Give other vehicles more space.
4. Avoid using cruise control.
5. Keep a firm grip on the wheel.
