Burbank, Glendale police finish in top 10 in relay race categories

Glendale and Burbank police departments finished in the top 10 in a two-day relay race against other similarly sized law enforcement agencies this weekend.

Glendale police came in sixth among other law enforcement agencies with fewer than 300 sworn personnel during the two-day Baker to Vegas Challenge Cup Relay, which is meant to increase fitness, team work, camaraderie and pride between officers.

The Torrance Police Department finished first in the same category.

Burbank officers came in ninth place alongside agencies with fewer than 500 sworn and non-sworn staffers working in law enforcement. Cal State University police finished first in the category.
