Lake Nona Rotary Club to Honor Orlando Law Enforcement Officers with the 2017 Heroes Gala

2017 HEROES GALA – Law Enforcement Awards Gala June 17, 2017

The prestigious Rotary Lunch Club of Lake Nona is awarding Lieutenant Scott Smith of the Orlando Police Department and Orange County Sheriff Master Deputy Jeffrey Riggs with the inaugural 2017 Law Enforcement officers of the year award. Hosted at The Lake Nona Golf & Country Club on June 17, 2017, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, this event promises to be sold out.

Lieutenant Scott Smith was not only a first responder at the scene of the PULSE Nightclub massacre, but he was influential in pinning down the suspect and bringing the attacks to an end. Master Sergeant Deputy Jeffrey Riggs is also being recognized for his efforts at PULSE but was awarded for his heroic effort in saving an entire family from a retention pond while driving on a local road.

As Orlando recognizes the PULSE Nightclub Massacre this week, we dedicate this inaugural 2017 Heroes Gala to the fallen victims of PULSE, the families and the law enforcement officers who risk their lives each day to make our city safe. These officers remind us why we promote peace. They have displayed exceptional levels of bravery and courage as they risk their own lives to save others.
