This is an incredibly tragic day for @countyofla, especially for our community in East Los Angeles, where a devastating explosion at @lasdhq’s Biscailuz Center Training Academy claimed the lives of three deputies who regularly served at our Board of Supervisors meetings. My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives. As they face this unimaginable loss, I ask that we all keep them in our prayers. My thoughts are also with the entire Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department as they grieve the loss of their team members. I want to sincerely thank the deputies from the East Los Angeles Sheriff’s Station and personnel from the Los Angeles County Fire Department for their quick response to the scene. I also want to thank the partner agencies that have stepped up to support the Sheriff’s Department during this difficult time. Your service and collaboration are deeply appreciated. Out of respect and in memory of the three deputies, I have requested that all County flags be flown at half-staff, as the incident occurred in the First District, which I represent. I remain committed to working with Sheriff Robert Luna and all partner agencies to ensure a thorough and transparent investigation. As we move forward, let us continue to stand with the Sheriff’s Department, the families, and the entire East Los Angeles community during this time of mourning.

Public Meeting – 2024 Military Equipment Reporthttps://lasd.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/LASD-grve-small-square.png600128SIB StaffSIB Staffhttps://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/179d7335802e3daded4330485a5562ec1de93760eb3e7e694ec84645300a95c0?s=96&d=blank&r=g
Join us for a virtual public meeting on LASD’s 2024 Military Equipment Report.
Community members are invited to ask questions and engage directly with the Department regarding the acquisition, funding, and use of military equipment, in accordance with Assembly Bill 481.
With more than 10,000 sworn Deputies serving neighborhoods across the region each day, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) remains committed to transparency and public trust. One way we support that commitment is through clear and consistent uniform standards that help community members identify our personnel.
The primary uniform worn by deputies on patrol is known as the Class A uniform. This includes olive green pants, a tan shirt with shoulder patches reading “Los Angeles County Sheriff,” and the Department’s iconic six-pointed gold star badge. Deputies also display their name or badge number and do not wear face coverings while on duty.
In addition to the standard patrol attire, some Deputies may wear a lighter version of the uniform, still bearing the official badge—either metal cloth—and clear identification.
Detectives, executives, and other administrative personnel may wear business attire. When armed, they will display their LASD badge on their belt and wear a green nameplate with their name, rank, and a small gold star.
For specific assignments, Deputies may wear an outer duty vest. These vests are olive green and clearly marked with “Sheriff” on the front and back, along with the Deputy’s name and badge.
Specialized units, such as SWAT, K-9, Arson/Explosives Detail, and Aero Bureau, may be seen in green coveralls marked with “Sheriff” on the back. These uniforms may include black or gold embroidery for name tags and patches. Other units may wear polo-style shirts with sewn-on gold badges and names, along with green “Sheriff” lettering on the back.
Deputies also wear green jackets that vary in weight and design. Lighter jackets include large “Sheriff” lettering across the back and a gold badge on the front. Heavier jackets are equipped with sewn-on star badges, name tapes, and shoulder patches.
All sworn personnel are easily identifiable by at least one of the following: a star badge, Department patches, the word “Sheriff” on their clothing, or a combination of these.
To help our community easily identify LASD personnel and distinguish them from other law enforcement agencies, we’ve created a short informational video. This video provides a visual guide to LASD uniforms and helps you recognize our Deputies in the field.
If a community member ever questions the identity of someone claiming to be an LASD Deputy, they are encouraged to ask for a name or badge number—or request that a supervisor respond to the scene.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department remains committed to ensuring our community can clearly recognize and trust the dedicated Deputies who serve and protect them every day.
We encourage you to take a moment and watch the video and share it to help promote understanding and stronger community engagement.

As Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) officially reopens, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) is reinforcing its commitment to public safety in the fire-affected areas of the city of Malibu, unincorporated Malibu, and our Topanga community. The Department will be implementing strict traffic enforcement, conducting high visibility patrols, undercover operations, and bolstering looter suppression efforts to protect our residents. Our comprehensive crime strategy will focus on a zero-tolerance approach to criminal activity and traffic violations and will be coordinated with the California Highway Patrol and other public safety agencies.
Additionally, the deployment of unmanned aerial technology will enhance our patrol capabilities and support rapid response for looter suppression in the fire-affected areas.
“Our highest priority is the safety of this community,” said Acting Captain Dustin Carr. “We are proud to reach this milestone in the Palisades Fire recovery and will continue supporting it with increased traffic enforcement, proactive looter suppression, and a close partnership with the community. There will be zero tolerance for looting and reckless driving. Please help us keep the city of Malibu, unincorporated Malibu, and our Topanga community safe as we rebuild together.”
The Malibu Lost Hills Station urges all residents and visitors to comply with traffic regulations, remain vigilant, and report any suspicious activity to local law enforcement. Community cooperation is essential as recovery and rebuilding efforts continue in the affected areas. The department encourages the public to stay updated through the Malibu/Lost Hills Station social media accounts on X, Nixle, and Facebook.

Emergency Lights? Pull to the Righthttps://lasd.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Safe-Driving-Thumbnail01-1024x576.jpg1024576SIB StaffSIB Staffhttps://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/179d7335802e3daded4330485a5562ec1de93760eb3e7e694ec84645300a95c0?s=96&d=blank&r=g
Every second counts during an emergency response. Whether it’s a sheriff’s unit/police car, fire engine, or ambulance, emergency vehicles rely on drivers to do their part and clear the path quickly and safely. California law 21806 CVC requires motorists to pull to the right and stop when an emergency vehicle approaches with lights and sirens activated.
This ensures a safe right-of-way for first responders when traveling to an emergency. “Too often, we encounter drivers who are unsure of what to do or worse, ignore the sirens altogether,” said Sheriff Robert Luna. “This campaign is about saving lives by making sure every driver knows how to react when they see those flashing lights in their rearview mirror.”
The Public Can Help By Following These Key Safety Reminders:
Stay alert: Keep music at a reasonable volume and avoid distractions so you can hear sirens and see flashing lights.
Pull to the right: When safe, signal and move your vehicle to the right-hand side of the road.
Stop and wait: Remain stopped until the emergency vehicle has passed, or you are directed otherwise.
Don’t block intersections: If you’re in an intersection when an emergency vehicle approaches, continue through and then pull over.
