Santa Monica police released dramatic body camera and surveillance video on Thursday showing a knife-wielding man attacking an officer outside the front door of the police station.

The incident unfolded the evening of Oct. 5 when, according to police, Deyaa Abdelhadi Halaibeh, 28, first assaulted an employee at the Target store on 420 Broadway and ran away with a knife set.

Halaibeh then walked a short distance to the police station on Olympic Drive, where he rang the call button to speak to an officer, security video shows.

 We recently celebrated the distinguished career of Assistant Sheriff Holly Francisco, who has been an exceptional leader in our department for over three decades.

Assistant Sheriff Francisco began her impressive career as a law enforcement technician, before promoting to deputy sheriff, where she served at both Sybil Brand Institute and Carson Sheriff’s Station. After advancing to sergeant, she worked at Century Regional Detention Facility, Carson Sheriff’s Station, and West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station. Her career continued to flourish as she advanced to lieutenant, serving at the Inmate Reception Center, Compton Sheriff’s Station, Homicide Bureau, and Major Crimes Bureau. Her dedication to service led to her promotion to captain, where she made a significant impact at the Narcotics Bureau. She then promoted to commander before becoming an assistant sheriff.

With her extensive knowledge and dedication, she will be greatly missed.

Thank you, Assistant Sheriff Francisco, and enjoy your well deserved retirement!
