Fantastic work! In response to a street racing takeover incident last month, detectives and officers conducted a coordinated operation leading to the seizure of two vehicles involved and the arrest of a suspect.  

Thank you to our regional law enforcement partners for their assistance with seizing the vehicles. 

Illegal “street racing” is dangerous and is not tolerated in Long Beach. Those who choose to participate in any type of illegal motor vehicle gatherings or associated crimes will be identified and arrested.

UPDATE: Hurricane Melissa, after exiting Jamaica, is rapidly intensifying again and is already a Category 4 storm and will soon make a devastating landfall on Cuba.

This storm just doesn’t quit.

This afternoon, Sheriff Robert Luna and LASD personnel hosted the Hall of Justice Halloween Decoration Competition and welcomed the children from the LASD Youth Activity League.

Department personnel guided the children throughout various work locations, engaging in trick or treating, while the children assessed the Halloween decorations. Over the past three years, Department personnel assigned to the Hall of Justice have expressed pride in their involvement in a Halloween decoration competition that has been judged by LASD Youth Activity League.

After the children were done trick or treating they were led to the Hall of Justice Media Room for food, refreshments, and more treats. From costumes to treats, our Halloween celebration fostered joy, laughter, and a sense of community.

Congratulations to the East Patrol Division on their Scary Clown Tunnel as the children made their selection for the best decorated area. Our department was proud to host this year’s Halloween event, which was full of community participation and festive Halloween fun.🎃

Warning graphic!

Los Angeles Police Department’s (LAPD) Force Investigation Division is investigating an Officer-Involved Shooting (OIS) that occurred in Hollenbeck Division.

On September 14, 2025, at approximately 10:46 p.m., Hollenbeck Area Gang Enforcement Detail uniformed officers were driving in the 2400 block of Boulder Street when they encountered the suspect, later identified as 30-year-old Francisco Garcia, in possession of an open container of alcohol.

As the officers attempted to contact Garcia, he fled, and a short foot pursuit ensued. Garcia ultimately fell while running between residences and produced a handgun from his waistband area, which resulted in an Officer-Involved Shooting. Garcia was struck by gunfire and was taken into custody without further incident.

The officers rendered aid until the arrival of Los Angeles Fire Department personnel. Garcia was subsequently transported to a local hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.

A loaded 9mm Taurus pistol, with a seated high-capacity magazine, was recovered at the scene and booked as evidence.

No officers or community members were injured during this incident.

Today we mourn the loss of a true pillar of the NYPD, our Chief Chaplain Rabbi Dr. Alvin Kass. Every time we bowed our heads for one of his prayers, we appreciated his deep faith, his old-school wit and his unshakable devotion to the men and women who protect NYC. He was a champion of all that is good and noble about our profession. May his memory be a blessing.

Rest Easy Brother. Prayers for his family of blue and blood.🙏🏻
