Officer Derrick Beach has been with Newark Police for less than a year but is an energetic young man who wants to serve his community. In December, Officer Beach organized the first ever “Cram the Cruiser” food drive to benefit the food pantry network of Licking County. The end result of the food drive was over 1,100 pounds of food and over $200 donated to the food pantry.
