  • After 31 years of service, LAPD Sergeant Andy Garcia cleared out his locker. He stared into its emptiness, closed it & walked away for the last time. It was a very hard moment for him—but he has much to be proud of. He served with respect & dignity. Enjoy your retirement Andy.

  • LAPD Officers assigned to Traffic do more than just enforce traffic laws & investigate traffic collisions—they're committed "to protect and to serve" the community from violent crime as well. Great job LAPD West Traffic arresting two shooting suspects. Your hard work counts.

  • Great job by LAPD Central Division working to obtain info on an illegal underground New Year’s Eve party & shutting it down before it escalated. This proactive police work helped prevent the spread of COVID & helped prevent some of the violence often seen at these unlawful events.

  • The scene of an ongoing investigation into a shooting that occurred tonight in LAPD’s Newton Division. These people obviously didn’t decide to make the right decision & stay home tonight. Luckily they weren’t injured, but it could’ve been tragic for so many. Be smart. Be safe.

  • 23 years ago, a young LAPD officer said goodbye to his family & went to work. Shortly after midnight, he began chasing an armed 17 yr old gang member, who they later learned was wanted for murder. During the foot pursuit, Officer Steven Gajda was shot and killed by the suspect. Two officers on the scene returned fire, killing the suspect. Officer Gajda had served in the military, and was a devoted husband and father. We will never forget his sacrifice. And like Officer Gajda, thousands of officers said goodbye to their families tonight & went to work.
