On April 29, 2022, marked the 20th anniversary of the death of Deputy David W. March.

Deputy David March was shot and killed after stopping a vehicle in Irwindale, CA.

Every LASD recruit class recites our creed during the morning procedures at the beginning of the day. Our creed, which was written by Deputy David W. March weeks before he was killed, is now a staple to our department and words we all by.

Recruit Class 461 did a presentation on the anniversary of his death and they were asked what the creed meant to them.

“Our goals are simple
I will always be painfully honest,
Work as hard as I can,
Learn as much as I can and hope-
fully make a difference in people’s
lives.”

Class 456 exceeds Red Cross Blood Donation Expectations

Great job to Recruit Jones from Class 456!

Recruit Jones from Hawthorn Police Department, who has an EMT background, quickly volunteered and coordinated a successful blood drive at STARS center in Whittier this past weekend. All recruits have to fulfill leadership and volunteer hours during the academy.

Recruit Jones did the research and made a relationship with a representative from the Red Cross whose combined efforts made the blood drive event a success. Drill instructors, members of the department, and recruits met and exceeded all expectations - 68 donations completed with only an estimated turnout of 51. The Red Cross RN nurses had to set up additional beds to meet the demands for the blood donations.

Class 456 takes pride in giving blood, sweat and tears to the academy experience!

On Friday, September 24, 2021, in the evening, four people were shot at the Willowbrook/Rosa Parks Metro station prompting a large response from law enforcement.

LASD deputies responded to the scene and found the four victims suffering from gunshot wounds. Three of them were critically injured and the fourth victim had minor injuries.

One of our own deputies, a female deputy assigned to TSB who that week had just completed a 40-hour First Aid/CPR instructor course given by Deputy Venus Felix assigned to Advanced Officers Training Unit, responded to the shooting. The deputy quickly reverted back to her training from that week and quickly applied a chest seal to a gunshot victim.

The deputy’s quick thinking possibly saved that victim’s life. Good job 👏🏼
In our line of work, we continue to train!
