Newest member of our K-9 unit 😉Officers Mercado & Tavera found a puppy while on patrol near Hobart Blvd, they took him back to the station and have officially renamed him, “Hobart” Welcome to LAPD Hobart!
Sometimes you need a dance break during a 12 hour shift! Ofc. Esparza Ramirez & Ofc. Cabral had just finished a radio call when they heard music coming from an event across the street and couldn’t hold back! Nice moves guys!
... The 20 year-old suspect was arrested for Malicious Discharge of a Laser at an Aircraft & Assault with a Deadly Weapon on a Police Officer, both felonies. (3/3)
Like most people, we are SO completely impressed with the loud exhaust on your Dodge Challenger! Every time we see you revving your engine while driving down Hollywood Blvd all we can think is: WOW! How cool! Then we cite you :)
Alright alright here we go! If you see us out & about in baseball caps that is because, effective immediately,

Hoping for a quick recovery for K9 Iggy! After a Suspect ran from Officers while in possession of a gun, Iggy found him hiding. When he did, the Suspect struck Iggy in the face. K9 Iggy remained focused, allowing Officers to safely take the Suspect into custody.
Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to the anonymous citizen who paid for a couple of our officer’s meals tonight. They left before we could thank them in person, so whoever you were THANK YOU!
Our prayers are with the LAPD SWAT Officer who was shot this evening while bravely working to apprehend an armed and barricaded suspect in south LA. We wish him a fast recovery.
Last night, Officers were on patrol on Santa Monica Blvd when they were struck in the eyes several times by a high-power green laser. Ofcs requested an air unit to help canvas for the suspect. Upon flying into the area, our air unit was immediately struck with the laser...(1/3)
Today we lost LAPD Mission Division Officer, Valentin Martinez, after a brave battle with COVID. Our thoughts are with our brothers & sisters at
@LAPDMission
tonight, as well as his family. Rest In Peace Sir.
You might see LAPD Officer’s out & about in our utility uniforms. Officer’s have been given the option to wear these instead of the traditional uniform because of their wash-and-wear capabilities, vs taking uniforms to the dry cleaners! Just 1 way we are adapting to

... The air unit was able to identify the apartment where the laser was coming from and directed units on the ground to it. Officers made contact with the suspect inside the apartment, who was in possession of the laser... (2/3)
Same story, different day. Drunk driver, driving with extreme speeds, lost control on Mulholland Drive and flew off the road. Somehow he survived (and was arrested). Worth noting: he was driving so fast his car went OVER the trees in the 2nd pic before coming to rest…..
This man went to the cemetery because it was a "quiet place" to end his life. Thanks to alert citizens reporting, officers were able to intervene and get him some much needed resources and help. A little compassion can go a long way.
Last night, 2 of our officers were stopped at a marked crosswalk as a pedestrian crossed the street. While they were stopped, a vehicle rear ended the back of their car. The driver of that vehicle was nearly 3 x the legal limit and subsequently arrested.
Unacceptable behavior. The group from last night came with the intentions to vandalize businesses and attack Officers. We will not tolerate this in Hollywood. 11 arrests made, 5 of those for Assault with a Deadly Weapon on a Police Officer.
NO justification/excuse for this violence. 3 officers injured (thankfully none serious). Smoke grenades & other projectiles thrown at our people trying to facilitate a Breonna Taylor Protest. 9 businesses vandalized. 11 arrests (5 ADW on P/O). via

A traffic stop for a simple traffic violation in Hollywood, lead to the recovery of multiple high capacity stolen guns, $40,000 in cash, and the arrest of 2 convicted felons. What these guys were planning to do in Hollywood last night is unknown, happy we didn’t have to find out.
This driver thought it would be a good idea to do donuts in the middle of Hollywood & Highland during rush hour traffic... yea, we think not. 30 day hold and arrested for reckless driving.
Update on Hobart!! A lot of you have been asking what Hobart is up to these days.. you will be happy to know Officer Mercado has adopted him and he is now living the good life with Mercado and his family!!
#HollywoodHobart
Well it’s a good start to the 4th of July for this puppy! Ofc. Menke was leaving the station this morning and saw a dog walking alone outside. She checked the dogs chip and realized the dog had been missing for 2 weeks! A call was made to the owner and they were reunited!! 🐶
Thank you to everyone who attended the
#HollywoodChristmasParade
tonight! We gotta admit the LAPD Motor Drill Team was our favorite part! What was yours?
Priceless: the look on 4 yr. old Michael's face when Hollywood officers presented him with a new Nintendo Switch.
(Story: He & his dad were robbed while riding a MTA bus. Suspect was arrested but Nintendo wasn't recovered. H.E.D. officers raised $400 to buy him a new one) 🎮🎯
Bring your unregistered dirt bikes to Hollywood & race them down the Blvd? Don’t worry we will take them off your hands for 30 days :) AND you can spend the night in jail.

Yesterday, motor officers conducted a “routine” traffic stop on Sunset Blvd. While speaking to the driver, they observed what appeared to be a fake LAPD badge in his wallet. Inside his car were 2 fake LAPD badges, a fake LAPD ID card, a police duty belt, and 2 loaded handguns.
High speeds + drunk driver + 2am in our bar district… a combination that could’ve led to an extremely tragic outcome. Luckily, somehow, only minor injuries from this crash. Driver arrested for DUI. Totally unacceptable.
Early this morning, your Hollywood Officers were called to help a suicidal man standing on the ledge of a building. Those Officers, along with a
@LAPDMEU
clinician/Officer team, spent hours talking to this man & were finally able to get him to come down, saving his life.

Correct, that was the fallen Deputy's funeral. It is a law enforcement tradition to show the family and fellow officers th respect we feel the deceased has earned. The rotor aircraft was part of that procession.
While you were sleeping last night, Bike Officers working the Hollywood Entertainment Detail conducted a traffic stop & recovered a loaded firearm with armor piercing bullets AND narcotics. The driver was arrested & booked at Hollywood Jail.

: Don’t crash into a police car WHILE you’re driving drunk… Last night this driver rear ended one of our cars while we were on a traffic stop. Thankfully no injuries. Driver was 2x the legal limit & booked at Hollywood Jail.
Earlier this morning

Detective Amber Leist was tragically killed off-duty helping a person who had fallen in the street. Our thoughts are with her family and our brothers & sisters at the Sheriffs Office.
Today we mourn the loss of Police Officer II Fernando Uriel Arroyos, Serial

, assigned to Olympic Area Patrol. Officer Arroyos was murdered in an off duty incident on January 10, 2022.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.

! As you get ready for bed, anxiously awaiting Santa’s arrival, our night shift Officers are finishing up roll call & heading out to the streets. We will be here all night if you need us!
Luckily, the pedestrian in the crosswalk was unharmed & our officers suffered only minor injuries. Could’ve been a tragic outcome… That driver made the foolish decision to drive drunk & will now face the consequences. Thankfully he didn’t take someone’s life last night.
Sweet shot of our Hollywood Entertainment District detail conducting a “field roll call” on Hollywood Blvd in front of the El Capitan Theater! We look forward to welcoming everyone back to Hollywood soon!
Hollywood: as you begin to head to bed tonight awaiting Santa’s arrival, rest easy knowing your Hollywood Officers will be out & about in your neighborhoods keeping you safe. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Officers assigned to our bike detail were on patrol near Hollywood High School when they came across 2 Suspects breaking into a parked car. Both Suspects were arrested and the owner was reunited with his property!
#WhileYouSlept
your Hollywood officers located a stolen vehicle driving down the boulevard. The occupants of the vehicle were arrested & a search of the car revealed multiple stolen firearms inside.
Thank you medical workers! Night after night and day after day, you come to work to help people & keep us healthy. It does not go unnoticed.. thank you! 💙
Look what Officer Brady picked up today!! His new badge! From Oct 1st - Dec 31st you will see our Officers wearing this commemorative 1869-1890’s badge showing support for our 150th anniversary! 😎
Another California police officer has been killed by gunfire today. Officer Jimmy Inn of
@StocktonPolice
was shot & killed at a domestic violence call. Officer Inn was hired in 2015 & was a member of our honor guard. Thank you sir for your sacrifice.
Hollywood’s very own Ofc’s Kuipers and Gardner came upon an injured possum in the middle of the road. They commandeered a box from a local pizza shop and got him out of harms way! Definitely not in the job description but sometimes you need to improvise!

Move over or slow down for stopped emergency vehicles! This photo was from this morning in Morgan Hill. CHP was stopped on the right shoulder investigating a traffic collision when another driver rear ended them. The driver of that vehicle was arrested for... you guessed it: DUI.

A Police Officer II & a Detective III. An unlikely pair to see driving a black & white responding to radio calls in Hollywood. However, this father & son team had the opportunity to do just that the other night!

our Officers conducted a traffic stop on Hollywood Blvd near Vine Street for a car that was speeding. In the backseat: a rifle, 6 high capacity magazines, and a handgun.
