Stewie, the U.S. Navy mascot, was among those who dropped by the LAPD reserve recruitment booth at L.A. Fleet Week at the Port of Los Angeles over Labor Day weekend. No word on whether he applied.

Since July, a miniseries of episodes on the Department’s podcast, Our LAPD Story, has focused on what it’s like to become an LAPD reserve police officer. The Reserve Journey Miniseries follows Public Information Director Josh Rubenstein as he embarks on this path, including his first day at the Academy, firearms training and learning first aid.
