Current LAPD chief Charlie Beck grew up watching Stan and has always been a fan of the newsman.  “Stan was always professional, always polite and always fair in his coverage of the LAPD.”

In a fitting tribute to LA’s biggest celebrity in Broadcast News, Stan Chambers will be honored by the men and women of the LAPD’s Hollywood Area Station, after having a retirement lunch at the Los Angeles Fire Department Hollywood Station #27.

Following a special roll call for the newsman, Stan will walk a final footbeat with some of LAPD’s finest.
