911 Fists ‘N Cuffs
By Harriet Benjamin, President, Bacon Bowl Association
The first annual 911 FISTS “N CUFFS event was held at the Emerald Queen
Casino on Saturday June 2nd. This boxing match pitted law enforcement officers
from different agencies in the Puget Sound area. It was a huge success for the
children’s charities. Over $30,000 was raised for the event. The participating
agencies were the Tacoma Police, King County Sheriff’s Office, Pierce County
Sheriff’s Office, Seattle Police, Lakewood Police, Milton Police, Lacey Police
and the Puyallup Tribal Police.
In all, 29 officers participated in the nights boxing card. Boxers were matched
up by their age and weight. Only one boxing match was fought between
officers from the same department. A total of 14 matches were held, with one
match won by default, as a boxer was not able to box. Proudly representing the
Seattle Police Department were Officer Ennis Roberson, North Precinct;
Officer Brad Conway, West Precinct; Sergeant Jay Shin, East Precinct;
Officer Susanna Guyer; Southwest Precinct and Detective Zsolt Dornay, Auto
Theft.
The event was held under the USA Amateur Boxing Association’s guidelines. All
boxers used headgear and 14ounce gloves. One of the boxing matches was
between two female officers from Lacey PD and Seattle PD. There were no
knockouts but there were three matches that ended in Technical Knockout

vicious jab during his bout.
This year’s children’s charities are Treehouse, First Place and Rise n’ Shine
from the Seattle area and Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital, Shop With a Cop
and the Law Enforcement Youth Camp in the Tacoma area.
Plans are all ready under way for the next 911 FISTS ‘N CUFFS, where you
can see the “Flyn Hawaiian,” “Don’t Step On My Blue Suede Shoes,” “The
Razor,” “The Librarian,” “The Hammer” and others.
If you happen to see King County Sheriff’s Detective Pat McCurdy or Tacoma
Police Detective Chris Taylor, give them special thanks for all their work to
make this event such a success.
