The Pomona Police Department in partnership with the Community Engagement Group, City of Pomona and the Fairplex held the Annual GREAT Campout this past weekend. The Campout is for Pomona residents ages 9-12 who stayed overnight under the stars in a safe environment at the L.A. County Fairgrounds. During the Campout, activities and booths were used to promote responsibility, respect for others and positive decision making. All campers were provided a new sleeping bag with dinner and breakfast being provided by local community groups. Activities during the event were sponsored by local businesses, individuals or local charitable organizations such as the Elk’s Lodge, Pomona Police Officer’s Association, Kiwanis, Western University, Lions Club, Partnership for a Positive Pomona and the Pomona Unified School District. The event was chaperoned by Police Officers and selected citizen volunteers from the community. This event provided a rare opportunity to bond with police officers in a relaxed environment and win some fantastic raffle prizes.
