On June 20th, 2008, the Los Angeles County Deputy Probation Officers’ Union, AFSCME Local 685, AFL-CIO, will hold its Fifth Annual Scholarship Awards Banquet. AFSCME Local 685 represents nearly 4,000 deputy probation officers in Los Angeles County, and employees in the Department of Children and Family Services.  This event provides scholarships to at-risk college-bound students, honors the hard working women and men of the Los Angeles County Probation Department, as well as other law enforcement members, and recognizes community and legislative leaders.   Since the inception of this event, thousands of dollars have been raised to provide our youth with scholarships to achieve their dreams. Furthermore, proceeds from this event support the California Peace Officers’ Memorial Foundation and AFSCME Local 685’s Memorial Fund.
