As 2019 draws to a close, we continue to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Los Angeles Police Department. Much of this issue focuses on the history of the LAPD Reserve Corps, which became an official part of the Department in 1947.
LAPD reserve and full-time officers assist with Operation School Bell, a service of the Assistance League of Los Angeles that provides underserved schoolchildren with new clothes and school supplies.
Twenty reserve officers attended heavy rail safety training on April 27. There are now a total of 40 reserve officers in the Department who can be deployed on the MTA line. Right: Reserves conduct a foot beat on the Metro Expo Line.
