#LAPD Reserve Police Officers at the French Embassy in Washington DC< as the French Ambassador to the United States recognized the LAPD Reserves who were part of the international delegation of law enforcement at the 2024 Olympics in Paris. On behalf of the Department, the LAPD officers also recognized the two high-ranking French Commanding Officers. The delegation was a highly-successful collaboration that is a prelude to LA28 — the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
In a historic deployment, 30 LAPD reserve police officers, as part of the largest international contingent of officers, embarked on an unprecedented mission to support security efforts at the 2024 Summer Olympics in France. The team, led by Sergeant II Jonathan Johnson, OIC of the Reserve Unit, was joined by a combined delegation of over 40 law enforcement agencies (including 17 representatives from LASD) that worked alongside French authorities to ensure a safe and secure event.
Historic, once-in-a-lifetime and even epic are not strong enough words to describe the effort and results of Los Angeles reserve police officers assisting, side by side, French municipal police officers as they kept the streets of Paris safe during the Olympics.
