There are several opportunities to recognize law enforcement officers throughout the year. Among them is this year’s Elks Lodge Public Safety Night held on Wednesday, June 17th. Along with several other officers and firefighters throughout San Mateo County, Menlo Park Police Sergeant Jaime Romero, Sergeant Scott Mackdanz and Corporal Nicholas Douglas were acknowledged for their act of valor which occurred on November 11, 2014.
Police officers are called upon every day to carry out the mission of safeguarding life and property and protecting the community. While most days can pass with little threat, an officer must always be on alert to the possible dangers that can transpire. Officers are exposed to situations that would cause most to recoil and they are looked upon to make rapid decisions that restore order and quality of life during those same circumstances. The Menlo Park Police Department is proud to recognize these officers for their bravery and their ability to carry out their mission as a Police Officer.
