2017 Officer of the Year and Civilian of the Year

The Arcadia Police Department and the Arcadia Police Officers' Association (APOA) recently honored two of their own, awarding the Police Officer of the Year and Civilian Employee of the Year Awards.

Detective Charles "CJ" Clark is the 2017 Police Officer of the Year. CJ has been with APD since 2005 and during his Patrol assignments, he worked as a Motor Officer in the Traffic Bureau, a Field Training Officer, member of the APD SWAT Team, and a Firearms Training Instructor. Since 2015, CJ has worked in the Investigations Section as a Property Crimes Detective. During his tenure in Property Crimes, he was the only Investigator assigned to the desk, where he has made the best of a very busy assignment. In addition to working daily cases, CJ assists in managing the BAIT Program to primarily combat package theft. The US Postal Service recently recognized Detective Clark and APD for the continued success of our BAIT Program.

Our 2017 Civilian of the Year is Community Service Officer Jacqueline "Jackie" Logan. Jackie joined APD in 1994 as a CSO, assigned as a Jailer. Over the years, we have transitioned to staffing our jail with an independent civilian contract. Our CSO staff were reassigned to duties in Personnel & Training, Community Services, Court Services, and Investigations. Jackie has been working as APD's Court Officer for several years and is our direct liaison to the Los Angeles County Courts. In addition to her daily duties, Jackie has and continues to train Police Cadets on Court related duties and helping out with paperwork processing duties within the Detective Bureau. Jackie is a "class act" we all count on day-in and day-out, and is well deserving of this award.

Please join us in congratulating both Detective CJ Clark and Community Service Officer Jackie Logan as the Arcadia Police Department and Arcadia Police Officers' Association, Police Officer and Civilian Employee of the Year for 2017.
