PATROL
About two-thirds of all sworn officers work in this division, which focuses on patrolling city streets, answering calls for service, and identifying potential crime problems. Under the Community Service Area Policing program, four dedicated lieutenants and their crews are assigned a specific quadrant of the City and tasked with resolving public safety concerns for residents, neighborhoods, and businesses. This division includes the Traffic Unit, the K-9 Unit, Jail Operations, Reserve Officers, Police Cadets and award-winning SHOP senior volunteers who perform non-hazardous duties to free up sworn officers.
Thank you to Angela from LAPFCU for providing some happiness this morning. Captain Doug Murray accepted Chipotle gift cards to be given to some outstanding officers for their hard work, and CSO Alexus Napoles was a raffle prize winner of some Beats headphones. Thank you again !!
