Prestigious award for LOPD

The Live Oak Police Department was the recent recipient of the Rocky Pomerance Award for the Small Law Enforcement Agency of the Year for Florida. The award was presented at the Florida Police Chief's Conference in Tampa.

The award recognizes "member agencies for developing and implementing an innovative approach to policing," according to the Florida Police Chief Association's Web site. This is the second major award LOPD has received this year. The agency was honored as Law Enforcement Agency of the Year by the Florida Citizens Police Academy Association in February.
