“At a recent motor vehicle accident, a member of Hatzolah received a summons from a Lakewood police officer. When there is possible danger to life, tensions can run high. Our past history has been one of cooperation with very few incidents such as this most recent one. Both of our organizations wish to recommit to working hand in hand for the safety of our citizens. There will be continued training and effort to avoid any unnecessary confrontation. We have a longstanding professional relationship, with the utmost respect and confidence in each other. We intend to continue to work together to serve our community and provide excellent emergency services when they are needed.”

  1. Very impressed with Chief Lawson. In this case he could have easily, and possibly rightfully stood up for his officer, and instead he has decided to peacefully diffuse the situation.
