Huntington Beach Police Chief Ken Small's Administrative Assistant Karin Reed asked me to mention This Item:
Congratulations to Officer Besuzzi for being recognized at the Annual Auto Theft Advisory Committee (ATAC) Awards ceremony last week. He and officers from other Orange County Police Agencies were honored for their efforts to reduce auto theft in our communities. Officer Besuzzi was recognized for his recovery of stolen vehicles and auto theft-related arrests for the year 2011.

The 4th of July celebration is rapidly approaching. The Police Department wants to remind everyone to have an enjoyable, safe and responsible celebration. The following are some reminders to help everyone enjoy the holiday:
Parade: The parade will once again be held on the morning of July 4th. The parade route will begin at 9th and Pacific Coast Highway, travel south to Main Street and end at Main and Yorktown. Staking out a viewing area on public property is permitted starting at 7:00 AM on July 3rd. Any items used to reserve a spot prior to that date and time will be removed by the city. Any items left unattended are done so at your own risk.
* Someone occupying someone else's staked out area, although rude, is not a violation of law.
Fireworks: Safe and Sane fireworks are being sold at 10 locations within the city this year beginning July 1st. They can only be used on July 4th from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM. They are prohibited everywhere south of Pacific Coast Highway including Sunset Beach. The 4th of July Committee will be hosting a professional firework show on the pier at sundown.
Beach Parking: The city beach parking lot will open at 5:00 AM on July 4th. No overnight parking from July 3rd will be allowed in the lots (they will be cleared) and no one will be allowed to line up for parking until midnight. Please use the Beach and Pacific Coast Highway entrance.
Road Closures: Pacific Coast Highway from Beach to Goldenwest will be closed on July 4th at 5:00 AM for the parade along with Main Street from Pacific Coast Highway to Garfield. We hope to have it re-opened by 1:00 PM. Pacific Coast Highway will be closed again from Beach to Goldenwest at 6:00 PM for the evening firework show. We hope to have it re-opened by 9:30 PM. Remember, there is no parking all day along Pacific Coast Highway (including the metered spots) from Brookhurst to Goldenwest.
It is the police department's desire for everyone to enjoy this holiday however unruly or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.
