BEVERLY HILLS—On July 28, the Beverly Hills Police Department announced two of its officers participated in the Majors Division of the East Coast Police Softball Championships, held June 10–12.

The event took place at Crane Ridge Park in Nashville, Tennessee. Officers played on the 172 Combo Team, which included other law enforcement officers from other police agencies in Southern California.

The team’s name comes from the badge number of Police Officer Ricardo Galvez, a 29-year veteran who served in the Downey Police Department for 5 years. Galvez died on November 18, 2015, after being ambushed and shot in his vehicle. He also served in the United States Marine Corps.

The East Coast Police Softball Championships aim to build ties between law enforcement agencies and the community. They help raise money for nonprofit organizations and charities.
