Masons recognize San Luis Obispo County law enforcement

Thaddeus Sherman lodge No. 196, formerly Paso Robles Free Mason Lodge No. 286 and Cambria Free Mason Lodge, held its annual Law Enforcement Appreciation Dinner on May 26. The lodge was recently renamed after a 19th century Free Mason to honor him for his work in California.

The ceremonies followed a tri-tip dinner for the nominees, their families and friends.

Awards were provided by lodge master Rod Smiley to the year's "Top Cops." The award is given to a recipient who has distinguished him/herself from his or her peers based on his/her performance over the course of a year and then is nominated by his/her fellow officers and superiors.

Only one officer is chosen from each department every year. Four officers were presented the awards by their superiors and were recognized for their passion, consistency, reliability, dedication to the job and making a difference in their community.

California Highway Patrol Lt. Marty Maples introduced CHP Sgt. Greg Egger, who in turn presented the night's first award to 25-year veteran Officer Scott Lee. Lee was recognized for his involvement and work in patrol, accident investigations, VIN inspections and as a liaison officer. Egger was unanimously chosen by his peers...
