Paul Homick recently took part in the Badwater Race, tracking more than 30 miles through streets, wooded trails, and on the beach.

It was to raise funds for the agency to purchase additional beach wheelchairs and a “state-of-the-art” cardiac machine.

“Determination, endurance, guts, perseverance. All those words can be applied to PSO Paul Homick,” BHI Department of Public Safety wrote in a Facebook post.
