Fifth District Police/Community Relations Awards Ceremony

The 2018 Fifth District Police/Community Relations Awards Ceremony was held at the Cleveland Job Corps on October 18^th, 2018. An enthusiastic crowd was on hand to honor both police officers and citizens who willingly make their community a better place to work and reside. Also in attendance were Mayor Frank Jackson, Chief Calvin Williams and a host of other city dignitaries to recognize these special individuals.

Among these recipients were Patrol Officer LaKisha Harris, Deidre Lightning-Whitted and Swagelok Inc. (Gary Plona) – all winners of the Cleveland Police Foundation Community Service Award.

Congratulations to all the awardees!
