In honor of National Law Enforcement Su***de Awareness Day, LAAPOA pays tribute to those in the law enforcement profession we have tragically lost to su***de. We also want to remind those straining under the weight of the badge, including the stress of high-pressure calls, traumatic experiences and other challenges affecting mental health and well-being, that help is always available.

LAAPOA is committed to raising awareness of law enforcement su***de and educating our members and supporters about this public health issue and its impact on the profession. For resources, read our article at laapoa.com/2025/09/raising-awareness-on-su***de-prevention-in-law-enforcement.

LAAPOA thanks L.A. City Councilmember Monica Rodriguez, with the backing of Councilmember Traci Park, for bringing renewed attention and accountability to the years-long delays surrounding LAX’s Automated People Mover. Rodriguez has called for answers about the project’s repeated delays and escalating costs, as well as greater accountability for a project that was supposed to be moving passengers years ago.

While the nearly completed People Mover has stagnated, LAWA CEO Ackerman’s pet projects, including expanding LAWA’s executive ranks and his own salary, have ballooned, while LAXPD staffing has fallen to levels not seen in approximately 20 years.

The veto of AB 1383 is disappointing, but PORAC’s commitment to retirement security remains firm. California’s peace officers deserve retirement policies that reflect the realities of their service.

We will continue working with our members, legislative allies and labor partners to advocate for meaningful PEPRA reform. Our members’ futures are worth fighting for.

Today, we wish the U.S. Air Force a happy 79th birthday! Established on this day in 1947, the Air Force has proudly served our nation for nearly eight decades, building a legacy of courage, innovation and excellence. From defending America’s skies and conducting reconnaissance missions to providing humanitarian assistance and more, Airmen have performed countless duties in times of war and peace. We salute the generations of men and women, past and present, who have served our nation in the Air Force. “Aim High … Fly-Fight-Win.”

Today marks three years since Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer tragically lost his life while serving the community he dedicated himself to protecting.

Ryan was just 30 years old and had proudly served the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for eight years. Throughout his career, he exemplified courage, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to helping others.

We continue to honor Ryan’s devotion, sacrifice, and the lasting impact he made on his family, friends, partners, and our department. His loyalty to the people around him and his legacy of service will never be forgotten.

Today, we remember Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer and honor a life taken far too soon.

End of Watch: September 16, 2023

Never forgotten.
