The Scene
That afternoon, over 100 Tent residents, along with representatives from Maloney Properties

Officer Ruiz, in his kind and gentle way, thanked all of the residents, not only for the sentiments shown this day but for their kindness and friendship over the years. Officer Ruiz said that, if it was not for his family obligations, he would never leave and wished he could continue to work for Longwood Security and Tent City “until my last day on earth.”
Our Most Valuable Asset
As dozens of people spoke, the same theme continued to emerge with each heartfelt speech. What made Officer Ruiz special was his kindness, his caring and his dedication to his job and the people he served. He was genuine and truly loved his work.
“In my 20 plus years in the Security field, I have attended many farewell parties, but in all that time I have never experienced such a display of affection and thanks. Longwood Security’s log contains our tag line “We make a Difference …Everyday.” Officer Luis Ruiz was the living embodiment of that statement, and I have no doubt wherever life takes him he will continue to make a difference in the lives of everyone he meets!" said Jeff Edimnston, Senior Vice President of Operations.
Thank you Luis, we wish you the best, and until we see you again...
