Diamond Bar – Local residents to be recognized for their volunteerism and hard work for the Walnut/Diamond Bar sheriff and emergency services at the 26th annual Volunteer Recognition Dinner on Saturday, April 21.

Hosted by the Walnut-Diamond Bar Sheriff’s Booster Club, the event will honor the sheriff department’s 150 volunteers who give freely of their time to improve the service and security to the cities of Walnut and Diamond Bar, and the unincorporated communities of Rowland Heights, Covina Hills and West Covina.
“Thousands of hours are donated annually by our department’s volunteers, explorers, reserves and disaster communication specialists,” Captain Jeff Scroggin said.  “From vacation checks and traffic control to color guard and keeping disaster communication equipment ready in case of emergency, these are a few of the many services they provide the community. This recognition dinner is just a small token of our appreciation.”
Funds raised through the Annual Scholarship Dinner provide uniforms and equipment to the volunteers.
