LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva: Happy Independence Day. Please celebrate responsibly, do not drink and drive.

Many families will be traveling our roads today. Please think about them.

Thank you to my LASD family who cannot be celebrating with their families today.

Lots of people cooling off at beaches today all around LA County on this long #4thOfJuly weekend. Here is what it looked like as we flew from Manhattan Beach up to Santa Monica... and even saw a "silent disco" dance party in Venice Beach.

As we celebrate our Nation's 247th birthday, many of you will gather to celebrate with family & friends.

If you decide to drink during the #4thofJuly celebrations, call a friend, take a taxi, or use a rideshare app. Make the right call, #DontDrinkandDrive.

As we celebrate our Nation's 248th birthday, many of you will gather with family & friends for the #4thofJuly festivities.

If you decide to have an alcoholic drink during #IndipendenceDay, call a friend, take a taxi, or use a rideshare app. Make the right call, don't drink and drive! 🚫

Every year, our nation celebrates #IndependenceDay with beautiful fireworks bursting all over the sky.

However, what many don’t realize is that as we celebrate the #4thofjuly, the sounds, the smoke and the smell of the fireworks can deeply impact our U.S. combat veterans and bring back traumatic memories.

If you have a neighbor or family member who is a combat veteran, be considerate with the fireworks and lookout for them. 🇺🇸

Protect those furry loved ones during the #4thofJuly. LASD reminds everyone that pets are sensitive to loud noises, especially fireworks.

Please keep your pets safe during the 4th of July. Here are some tips to help keep you pets comfortable and safe from our partners at County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control:

• Keep your pet indoors with a radio or television playing in the background. This can serve as a distraction and offer a sense of comfort for your pet.

• If your pets are outside, make sure ALL gates are closed and locked and that fencing is secure. They may try to escape if startled.

• Make sure your pets are micro-chipped and have collars with ID tags on them. Include a phone number where you can be reached. You should have a current picture of your pets in case they are lost or separated from you.

• DO NOT take your pet to a firework show or even a neighborhood gathering. They are safer at home.

On behalf of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, we wish all of you a #HappyIndepenceDay! #4thofJuly #USA #Freedom #HappyBirthdayAmerica
