NY Police Department Academy Graduates celebrate their big day.

Welcome to the Family! 💙

 Welcome, Class 478!

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD), led by Sheriff Robert Luna, proudly welcomes Class 478 to the law enforcement profession!

After an intense 22-week Deputy Academy, 54 recruits have joined the ranks of those who serve and protect, including 40 LASD Deputy Sheriff Trainees and 14 recruits from partner agencies from Burbank, Culver City, El Segundo, Glendale, Santa Monica, and Simi Valley PDs.
 
Among the graduates are five military veterans who served their country honorably. Their journey reflects resilience, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to their communities.

This milestone was celebrated with a heartfelt Colors Run in Huntington Beach, dedicated to the memory of Sergeant Danilo Castaneda of the LASD—a touching tribute to his legacy.

Sheriff Luna acknowledged the vital role families and Academy staff played in this achievement. He reminded the graduates to carry the values of dignity, respect, and integrity as they take on this rewarding and challenging career.
 
Join us in congratulating Class 478!
 
Your hard work and perseverance inspire us all. 💙

As the winds die down and the fires are starting to become contained, let us not forget to keep thanking our brave firefighters who are still hard at work.

Many of them have been working nonstop since the fires started last week, working to keep us safe.

We don’t just have our LAFD to thank, but fire departments from all over America, Mexico, and Canada have come in to lend a hand. This is what it means to help a friend. To be in community — big and small. Thank you to each and every person that has fought these fires! If you can give, please do! 💙

Good night to all! 😴

Good morning!

“It’s a housing issue and we just need more money to fix it. Here’s some clean needles and meth pipes to hold you over” is the current policy on homelessness in Los Angeles and much of California as a whole. It’s not working.

The new measure now strips away the Second Amendment right to possess a firearm from anyone who is the subject of a domestic violence order of protection. One of the most blatantly unconstitutional laws we've ever seen.

ICYMI: Ring camera footage of the Eaton Fire as it ravaged entire neighborhoods.

This gives you a good view of how easily and rapidly the fire spread. Embers travel far out from the main fire, causing exponential spread.
