Remember the movie "Home Alone"? A famous quote of Kevin's in the movie was, "This is my house, I have to defend it." Defend your house this holiday season, lock your doors when you leave and when you sleep. Don't let the burglars come in and wake you during the night.
This is a photo right now at Kaiser Cadillac. See all the police cars? There are 10 more just out of this picture frame. We have another 12 at San Vicente & Hauser (7/11). You're right Wilshire has ZERO tolerance for street racing tonight.

of the brutal & unprovoked ambush on two deputies today. Please continue to keep them both in your prayers as they are currently fighting for their lives after being shot several times. 🙏🏼💙
As of today, we have 2 suspects in custody who are connected to at least 3 of the notorious Rolex robberies. Detectives continue to actively pursue multiple leads in an effort to apprehend additional suspects.
Wilshire officers are conducting a tactical operation near Beverly and The Grove Drive. Streets in the area will be closed for the duration and should be avoided. Residents in the area please remain inside unless directed otherwise by officers.
It is going to be cold again tonight, please bring your pets inside. If you keep them outside, place something on the cold ground for them to protect their cold bones. If you can't treat your pets like family, please find someone that will!!

March update- the formal event has ended. It was estimated the crowd reached 100k. Most have returned to their vehicles. One large group on foot heading east bound on wilshire.
On December 22, 1996, Officer Mario Navidad, was shot and killed while on duty. On December 22, 2023, the Wilshire Division watch-3 and watch-7 gathered on Whitworth Dr and Fairfax Ave to pay tribute to Officer Navidad’s service and sacrifice.
Today, we mourn the tragic murder of Police Officer II Juan Diaz. Officer Diaz was a dedicated public servant and Angeleno that put service to others above all else.

AAA Roadside Service is once again offering free tows on New Years Eve. From New Years Eve from 6:00 pm to New Years Day 6:00 am, your car can be towed from a bar, club, or house party to your house (up to 7 miles free!) Call 800 400-4222. Ride with them, instead of us! 🎉
Officers have concluded the operation at Beverly/Grove Drive. We determined this was a “swatting” incident which clearly tied up critical public safety resources, but due to the nature (an alleged shooting) had to be thoroughly investigated. We appreciated the public’s patience.
Despite pressures placed on law enforcement it remains one of the most noble professions because of the men and women doing the job. Wilshire Officers involved in extensive inv remove weapons, narcotics, cash, and other deceitful tools of the criminal trade.

Dael & his father stopped by Wilshire Station to thank everyone for finding Menachem when he went missing a couple days ago. It was a true community effort & Dael's father was also part of a search team. We made a trade - he gave us donuts and we gave him an LAPD K9 dog... (1/2).

Everyone, thanks for the support & comments. We truly understand what a problem this illegal street racing has been. Our captains are pulling resources from around the city. A similar operation is in the works for this New Year's weekend. Stay tuned. Respectfully, Wilshire Div.
Road Rage is NOT an accident!! Please do not confront another driver because they cut you off or did not signal when changing lanes. A physical confrontation and/or injury are not worth it because someone was rude to you on the road. Be smart and stay safe!!

Good evening Wilshire. Back on duty after 3 awesome days off with my family. It's gonna be chilly tonight, please bring ur pets inside or put something over the cold ground for them-they get cold too!!!

Good Afternoon, In light of the current status of Washington D.C. and the Capitol, I wanted to reach out to our community. There is currently no evidence of protest action in Wilshire, and no intelligence to indicate any location will be targeted for protest.
Stay safe!
If you notice more police cars along Melrose/Beverly tonight, we are running a car burglary task force to help you keep your hard earned property. Call us if u c any suspicious activity.

The reported shooting incident in the 4600 block of W. Olympic Boulevard at Los Angeles High School has been thoroughly investigated by LAPD and L.A. Unified School Police and appears to be a hoax. All children and staff are safe. There's no known threats at this time.
Wilshire Ofcrs caught some catalytic converter thiefs at 4am this morning in the area of Melrose/LA Brea. Three Suspects in custody. A replica Firearm was also recovered at scene.

You guys are killing me, another community member left his sliding glass door unlocked and found a stranger in his living room, luckily the burglar left when asked. This could have ended badly for the homeowner. Please be responsible and close/lock your doors/windows.
