An #LAPD officer mourns the loss of his son Andy, as does the entire #LAPD family. A grateful community honors #CHP Officer Andy Ornelas of @CHPHQ —as he has made the ultimate sacrifice. Keep the family, friends, and loved ones in your prayers, during this unthinkable tragedy.
Great job last night by our Watch 3 Officers Marroquin and Uribe, who recovered this firearm during an investigation and arrest. While the residents of @LAPDRampart sleep, Watch 3 is hard at work! @LAPDALopez@LAPDChiefMoore@LAPDHQ @LAPD_CPTSpell @LAPDvic

Many use Sundays to recharge before a new work week or connect with family & friends—but like many other essential professions, Sunday for us is just another day.
We’ll be out today & everyday—working hard to protect & to serve—not because we have to, but because we want to.
Thanks to our partners at @picounionproj who worked with us on a great Community Cleanup event. Coming together to make our neighborhood safe and clean is an everyday goal here at @LAPDRampart@LAPDChiefMoore@LAPDvic@MayorOfLA @SteveSoboroff

Rampart Narcotics Enforcement Detail (NED) was hard at work tonight! In 90 degree weather, their operation resulted in a Felony arrest, with drugs, money and loaded firearm in custody. Great job! @LAPDHQ@LAPDALopez@LAPDvic@LAPDChiefMoore
