A WORD FROM THE 
CHIEF 


Please allow me to introduce you to our newy promoted 
Corporal, Lilian Shaw. Corporal Shaw was born in El Salvador at 
the start of the Salvadoran Civil War. Shortly after her birth, Lilian’s parents 
were forced to flee the country, barely escaping death squads. Unable 
to take Lilian with them, she was raised by her maternal grandparents 
until the age five, when she was reunited with her parents in the United 
States. 
Comingfrom another country that was experiencing 
civil war and having to adapt to 
this new land of people, places and language 
presented challenges for Lilian and 
brought many ups and downs. It wasn’t 
until she was six years old, that Lilian was 
able to enroll in school. As a 12 year old 
living in South Central LA she had an up 
close and personal view of the 1992 LA 
Riots. 

Lilian says that the challenges she faced 
early on and throughout life taught her 
endless coping and communication 
skills, and motivates her to working hard 
at building social bridges in accomplishing 
all her goals. She draws from her life 
experiences to aid her in interacting with 
the many beautiful people from different 
backgrounds and cultures she meets in 
Sierra Madre day after day. 

Lilian possesses a BA degree in Broadcast 
Journalism from Cal State LA, and 
a Masters degree in Law Enforcement 
Leadership from the University of San 
Diego. She is eternally grateful to the Sierra 
Madre Police Department, for what 
she describes as the “opportunity of a lifetime” 
in working as a police of-ficer for 
this great city. 

Please join me in congratulatingCorporal Lilian Shaw as our newest 
supervisor. 


BEANTOWN IS COMING 
BACK REAL SOON! 

Sierra Madre's Iconic Beantown, will re-open sooner than you think! 

In 2020, this popular establishment struggled to keep its doors open during the 
Pandemic only to have an unfortunate automobile accident loose control and run 
into the business. (http://mtnviewsnews.com/v14/htm/n33/index.htm).

 Since that event in August, the coffee shop has been closed while the repairs to the 
building are completed.

 In a conversation with owner Matt Krantz, he was optimistic about the progress 
that has been made so far and expects to reopen "soon".

 The new facade (pictured above) shows some of the progress made to date.
