The Lake Forest Park Rotary honored the Lake Forest Park Police with its annual Jeff Weissman award.

The club makes this award each year to an individual or organization that demonstrates outstanding community service. The award is named for Jeff Weissman, a long-standing member of the LFP club and former owner of the Great Harvest Bakery in the Town Center.

In 2015 we partnered with the PD on many Department programs and projects including the Safe Harbors Domestic Violence Fund, Shop with a Cop during the holidays, Chief for a Day, and the Special Olympics Salmon Bake (coming up this year on Sept. 11 during the LFP Farmers Market, along with a day-long event marking the LFP Club’s 30th anniversary).

Beyond these activities, we share the widespread feeling among residents that we have an outstanding, effective and responsive Police Department that truly exemplifies the principles of community policing.
