Sheriff Sgt. Marsha Williams passed on this news about the weekend’s torch relay that ended at our own Station 7:
Just wanted to pass on information and a few photos of our Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department annual Peace Officer’s Memorial Torch Relay that culminates at Altadena Station each year. The relay race begins at Sheriff’s Headquarters Bureau, Friday, May 22, 2009 at 9 AM, with runners who carry the lit torch to East Los Angeles station, where it is handed off to that station’s runners. The relay continues until each Sheriff’s station in Los Angeles County has handed the torch to their runners, a total distance covering over 300 miles. The relay ended today, Sunday, May 24, 2009 at 2:30 PM where Altadena Station personnel brought in the torch and conducted a memorial ceremony to honor peace officers who were killed in the line of duty in Los Angeles county during the past twelve months. The runners were escorted into the station from Fair Oaks Avenue and Altadena Drive by sheriff’s patrol vehicles and Los Angeles County Fire Department vehicles with lights flashing.

Dig into the site and you will find their local address, in Altadena, and one in NYC.
