On Saturday, April 7th, 2012, the San Francisco Coordinating Council of Lions Clubs, held its 49th Annual Peace Officers, Firefighters and Sheriffs Awards Banquet. During this event, twelve of San Francisco Police Department’s finest were honored for their dedication to duty and service to their respective police districts with honor and distinction.
According to Council President, Macy Mak Chan, “the Lions Clubs are pleased to have this opportunity to honor our heroes: our very own police officers, firefighters & Sheriffs. They risk their lives every day to keep our communities safe and full of hope.” Chan stated that this event was established in 1963 and the Lions Clubs are thrilled to have it continue on in the spirit of honoring those who are committed to serving our city and county of San Francisco.
In his Inspirational Message to the honorees and attendees, Chief Suhr thanked the honorees for their service, the Council of Lions Clubs for continuing this long standing tradition, and encouraged the honorees to continue to make a difference in the lives they impact daily.
