The Los Angeles Police Department Northeast Area Community Police station will be hosting its first ever golf tournament on Friday, February 13, 2009, at the Pacific Palms Resort in the City of Industry. Proceeds from the Northeast BLEND Charity Golf Tournament will benefit and help finance youth programs, such as the LAPD Explorers, Police Athletic League, Deputy Auxiliary Program, and Jeopardy.
Northeast Area's business support group, Business For Law Enforcement Northeast Division (BLEND), has been providing funds to purchase equipment for Northeast Area officers for the past 27 years. Focusing on equipment that is not provided by the City, such as cameras, color printers, computers, etc., BLEND's primary mission is to purchase and maintain items that will enhance the day-to-day effectiveness of officers serving the Northeast community. Each year, BLEND coordinates Officer Appreciation Day at Northeast Community Police Station. This event provides food for all sworn and civilian personnel working in Northeast Area.
