A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AZUSA COMMENDING POLICE OFFICER
HAROLD LINDEN FOR HIS ACTIONS ABOVE AND
BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY ON OCTOBER 13,
1977•
WHEREAS, Police Officers as an integral part of their
duty must face perilous situations, and
constantly display responsible and flexible
professionalism in the midst of rapidly
changing conditions, and
WHEREAS, Police Officer Linden, on October 3, 1977,
very early in the morning, in response to
a situation involving a burning structure,
with utter disregard for his own safety and
welfare, forced the door open and entered,
finding two people inside, a disoriented and
dazed man, and a young lady lying unconscious
on the floor. He carried the young lady and
led the man to safety, and
WHEREAS, because of his alert and swift actions, both
the young girl and her father survived the
conflagration and owe their lives to this
singularly capable officer, and

be expected of a person facing such a
situation,
NOW, THEREFORE, LET IT BE RESOLVED, that the City Council
of the City of Azusa, joins the two individuals directly
involved as well as all others aware of the happening, in
honoring and commending Police Officer HAROLD LINDEN for
the uniquely courageous and heroic actions undertaken by
him on that day.
