The Torrance Area Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Los Angeles Airforce Base launched a program in 2023 that honors military members. The Chamber’s Military Affairs Council (MAC) ‘Hidden Heroes’ program serves to recognize Active-Duty Airmen and Guardians who have contributed to the local community. Contributions include serving on numerous on- and off-duty volunteer activities, military councils, and organizations supporting several morale and welfare events. The chamber will recognize Technical Sergeant Alex Inn at the Torrance Police Department Community Update.
Technical Sergeant Alex Inn serves as a Non-Commissioned Officer in charge of Standardization and Evaluation, 61st Security Forces Squadron, Space Base Delta-3, Los Angeles Air Force Base. In this capacity, he executes standardization, self-inspection, and proficiency evaluation programs for 85 active-duty members and Department of the Air Force Civilian Police Officers.
Technical Sergeant Alex Inn is being recognized for serving in numerous volunteer activities. Demonstrating leadership and organizational skills, Technical Sergeant Inn spearheaded the 2022 Los Angeles Air Force Base Retiree Appreciation Event, ensuring a successful celebration for over 150 retirees and over 15 support agencies and resources.
In 2023, Technical Sergeant Inn’s commitment to security and community safety was evident as he provided crucial support during the Torrance Armed Forces Day Parade. His role as a blocking force and overwatch secured the well-being of Space Base Delta 3 personnel, while his trail vehicle duties bolstered local law enforcement and deterred potential threats.
Technical Sergeant Inn also dedicated five hours to the Salvation Army’s Toys for Tots program. He played a pivotal role in unloading and sorting 40,000 toys, books, and bikes, which were then distributed to children throughout Southern California.
The Torrance Police Department Community Update will be held on Wednesday, March 27th starting at 12:00 PM at Sunrider International.
