🚔🚒 Battle of the Badges 2026 🚒🚔

The Lathrop Juneteenth Heritage Committee would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the men and women of the Lathrop Police Department and Lathrop-Manteca Fire District for making this year’s Battle of the Badges a memorable success.

Thank you for bringing your energy, enthusiasm, and friendly competition to our Juneteenth celebration. Your willingness to engage with the community, build positive relationships, and showcase the spirit of teamwork helped create an unforgettable experience for attendees of all ages.

While the badges may have battled, the true winners were the residents of Lathrop who witnessed the unity, camaraderie, and dedication that both departments bring to our community every day.

We appreciate your service, your partnership, and your continued commitment to keeping Lathrop safe, strong, and connected.

Together we are stronger. Together we are one community.
