South Palm Beach and Manalapan police officers were awarded commendations in  August from their town lawmakers.
7960462697?profile=originalLt. Nick Alvaro of South Palm Beach was honored for guiding the police force to third place in a statewide Law Enforcement Challenge, earning $10,000 in police equipment for the department.
Competing with departments of similar size, Alvaro attended the seminars, compiled the statistics and conducted assessments to gather points for the department in traffic control, training, communications and other categories.
In his 13 years with South Palm Beach, Alvaro has earned the department an additional $65,000 in grants.  
Manalapan police officer Keith Shepherd was recognized for coordinating the rescue of an endangered swimmer off Ocean Inlet Park on Aug. 21. On patrol, Shepherd discovered the swimmer caught in a riptide, tracked his movements, alerted lifeguards down the beach and directed the lifeguards to the swimmer,  who was rescued without serious injury.
