LAPD Robbery-Homicide

Established in 1969 by combining the once separate Robbery Division and Homicide Division, today’s Robbery-Homicide Division is comprised of approximately 110 sworn and civilian personnel under the command of Captain III William P. RHD is comprised of five sections (Robbery, Homicide, Special Assault, Cold Case Homicide, and Special Investigation Sections), each under the supervision of a lieutena

nt and tasked with investigating or providing surveillance support for a wide variety of select crimes that are often high profile in nature. RHD detectives attend quarterly meetings with detectives throughout the City, where crime trends, suspect information and investigative techniques are discussed to ensure that investigations of a serious nature are shared across geographic boundaries. The sections also serve as liaisons between other law enforcement agencies regarding cases of mutual interest and, when required, orchestrate multi-divisional and/or multi-agency task force investigations.
