Standing side-by-side, Police Chief Charlie Beck and Fire Chief Millage Peaks held a press conference to kick-off and promote the inaugural LAPD & LAFD Safe Summer Tip-Off Youth Basketball Event. With each Chief proclaiming a premature victory, the spirit of competition is alive and well between the two agencies.
The Safe Summer Tip-Off will be held this Saturday June 12, from 11 am to 3 pm at the Los Angeles Sports Arena located at 3939 South Figueroa Street in Los Angeles. Along
with the basketball game, there will be static displays by both agencies including Bomb Squad, SWAT, Air Support, Fire Truck, Ladder Trucks and much more. Lunch will be served and there will be special celebrity guest appearances. Best of all it is free to those in attendance.
Come out and enjoy a family fun filled day and Tip-Off the Summer in grand fashion.
Try not to get kicked by a cop while riding your bicycle. That should keep you safe.

Great job for all those who put on this special day of fun for not only the kids but the adults as well. The game itself between the teams of the LAPD and LAFD was entertaining and yet very competitive. Congratulation to the winning LAPD team. The icing on the cake for me was getting to shake hands with Chief Beck and talking about years gone by at an old Suzuki dealership that the both of us would see each other at.
Can't wait for next years event!

This was a good game and nice event. It was intended for kids but I don't have any. I went to enjoy the game and had a good time. The LAPD has beat the LAFD in both football and basketball this year. Sure would be nice to see the trophies displayed at the Memorial Race this weekend.
