Honoring Captain Larry Goodman on his Retirement

Yesterday, we honored Captain Larry Goodman who is retiring after 36 years of service to the City of Arcadia. Larry was hired as a Police Cadet in 1983 and became a Law Enforcement Recruit in 1985. After completing training at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Academy, he was sworn in as a Police Officer. During his time as a Police Officer, Larry was appointed to various positions and assignments over the years to include Field Training Officer, Traffic, NORSAT (a regional burglary task force), Juvenile Detective Desk, and SWAT.  Larry was promoted to the rank of Sergeant in 1995, where Larry worked as a Patrol Supervisor, a Community Relations Supervisor, SWAT Supervisor, and as a Community and Youth Services Supervisor before being promoted to the rank of Lieutenant in 2007.  As a Lieutenant, Larry worked as Patrol Watch Commander, SWAT Commander, and Detective Bureau Commander before Chief Guthrie had the opportunity to promote him to the rank of Captain in 2011.

The Arcadia Police Officers' Association hosted a nice lunch to honor Larry who was surrounded by his family and co-workers. Thanks to Captain Larry Goodman for well over three decades of service and dedication to the City of Arcadia. We all would like to wish him the best in retirement!
