On Friday, the Boca Raton Police Foundation held the 3rd Annual Call for Backup Party, hosted Jennifer and Marc Bell at their beautiful home. In addition to a night of delicious hors d’ouevres and cocktails, attendees enjoyed entertainment, demonstrations of police equipment, vehicles & K9’s as well as live and silent auctions.

It was also an opportunity for those who have not done so before, to meet Interim Chief of Police, Michele Miuccio. Proceeds from the event will fund initiatives that enhance the safety of our community and the effectiveness of our police department.
