Also NEW this week...  Ivan Garcia Awarded BID Safe Team Office of the Year
The LAPD recognizes BID Safe Team Officers at the annual Boosters Award Event and this year BID Safe Team Sergeant Ivan Garcia took the honors. Garcia has worked in the LA Fashion District from 2006-2008 and from 2012-present on the evening shift. During his absence he completed a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice at the University of Michigan. Garcia's goal is to become an LAPD Officer. His exemplary service at the BID includes numerous arrests for malicious mischief and alerting an MTA driver about smoke coming from the rear engine compartment of the bus. When the driver stopped the rear of the bus burst into flames. Ivan and his partner took the initiate to escort the passengers off the bus while the driver activated the engine fire-extinguishing system. Ivan's initiative and quick thinking prevented injuries to the bus passengers while keeping the damages to the bus at a minimum. Congratulations Ivan! Bringing Back Broadway Construction Update
