The Life of Harlen Lambert
For those inclined to pore over historical manuscripts, and find wisdom in the fortitude and passion of everyday heroes in their community archives, the story of Harlen Lambert, details not only the account of the first person of color to be hired onto any police force in Orange County, but also the account of an intrepid entrepreneur, a proponent for advances in police-community relations, a believer in the merit of education, a top athlete, as well as a husband and father of one. Explore the Santa Ana History Room’s online exhibition of Lambert’s contributions as an esteemed and beloved member our community, and a role model.
