Photo Shoot with the Sheriff's Department - On Going

Community Service Project for the LPA

At the request of the Sheriff's Department this project has been placed on hold until after the first of the year.

This project is underway and members have ridden with a Sergeant on routine patrol and had opportunities to take photos of deputies doing their jobs.  Ride alongs have been during the day and afternoon shifts during the last week of September.  The Lancaster Sheriff’s station contacted the LPA with a request for help in putting pictures on the hallways of the station. The Station’s interior consists of many large, blank, Swiss-coffee painted walls.  They would love to fill those walls with images of the Antelope Valley and the deputies at work.  The final photo size would be 20 x 30 and the department will do any printing and mounting.  Each photographer will be given photo credit.

Sign up below if you're interested.

Participants will need to sign a liability waiver and submit to a quick security check. Any members who are on probation, parole, convicted felons, and those with unresolved criminal cases would not be cleared to participate.  Ride alongs will be scheduled only with deputies who volunteer.  LPA members will be able to use the photos any way they choose.  Off limit images will be those showing faces of arrestees and crime victims.  Anything that jeopardizes public safety or shows the department in a bad light would also be off limits.

This project is an opportunity for LPA members to use their creativity and make images that showcase the work the deputies do.  There are no fixed guidelines as what the images should look like.  Later there maybe opportunities for stage events.

If you are interested, please sign up below.  I will email you information on how to submit your application to the Sheriff.  It is not clear how long this program will continue, so if you are interested I urge you to sign up.
