🚨 Another day, another e-motorcycle towed.

We love e-bikes as much as the next person, but remember electric dirt bikes like this Strike Throne belong off public roads…unless you’re looking for a one-on-one meeting with a MBPD Traffic Officer. 👮‍♂️

Stay safe and stay legal out there.

Sergeant Michael “Mike” Trani is proudly retiring after serving the Manhattan Beach Police Department for 27 years.

After earning his Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Cal State Long Beach, he began his career at Manhattan Beach PD in May 1999. Throughout his service, Sgt.

That same year, he earned the Distinguished Service Award for saving a life during an attempted murder.

Known for his calm demeanor under pressure, professionalism, and unwavering support for his fellow officers, Sgt. Trani’s charismatic laugh and positive spirit left a lasting impact on everyone he served alongside.

Thank you, Sergeant Trani, for your leadership, dedication, and honorable service. You will be greatly missed. Wishing you health, happiness, and success in retirement.

🚔 Warrant sweep ✅

Last week our MBPD detectives conducted a local warrant sweep helping people take care of their outstanding warrants.

One subject still had an active warrant and received our version of a free Uber…a one-way, door to door ride straight to jail.

Friendly reminder warrants don’t disappear on their own.
