LAPD Wilshire Community Police Station

Good Morning Wilshire Community: I will not have an opportunity to compile a newsletter this week, but wanted to give you an update on events this weekend that will impact our community. Today, we are aware of two protests taking place here in Wilshire Area, one starting shortly (roughly 1:00 pm) in the area of Fairfax and Beverly. This event is focused on a banking institution and disputes their funding/support of an oil pipeline being built through indigenous lands in Minn...Continue reading

STAY OFF THE PHONE You see it. We see it. We all see it. Way too many distracted drivers out there barely looking at the road. You are TWENTY-THREE times more l...ikely to crash your car if you’re texting and driving. April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month so expect zero tolerance and extra enforcement! And yes, even if you’re stopped at a red light, it’s illegal to use your phone. See more

Good evening Wilshire Community, We are currently tracking a protest that just popped up on social media and is advertised for this evening at 8:00pm at Beverly and Fairfax. We cannot be certain of the participation or intent at this time. They could simply remain stationary or they could march. ... Please know even if you do not observe a police presence we are aware and monitoring - we will try to minimize our footprint in order to not become the focus of discontent. However, we will respond appropriately should there be any criminal behavior. If you are in the area there is a distinct possibility of traffic delays, etc. I will endeavor to post any updates or community concerns on twitter. Be safe. Captain Shannon K. Paulson Commanding Officer Wilshire Area Los Angeles Police Department

Beware of false advertising and phony websites. If a company is selling the hottest item of the year at a price that seems too good to be true, it probably is. Shop with trustworthy sellers on secure sites only. Never put personal or credit card information in forums or on non-secure web pages. Keep your antivirus software up to date. This will help you to avoid non-secure websites and pop-up phishing scams, and help keep your personal information safe. Price check before yo...u buy. Do your homework by comparing prices. Remember that the best deal may not be the real deal. Take advantage of rewards and loyalty programs. Use your credit card. Debit cards don’t offer this same protection. Understand return policies. Online store policies may change for Cyber Monday offers. Watch out for phishing scams. Look out for unsolicited emails, texts, calls, or letters. These messages may claim you have a free gift waiting for you or that there is a problem with a delivery. #lapd #lapdwilshire #cybermonday @captamendoza See more

Let’s all reflect for what we are thankful! From our Wilshire Family to yours. Happy Thanksgiving! #lapd #lapdwilshire #midcity @captamendoza

#Repost @lawman556 with @make_repost This footage was released by @lasdhq of the brutal & unprovoked ambush on two deputies today. Please continue to keep them both in your prayers as they are currently fighting for their lives after being shot several times.

On this day 19 years (September 10th) ago, 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift. None of them saw past 10:00am Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.

Happy Birthday to a very youthful 50-year-old. Still nifty at fifty. We are truly lucky and blessed to have you as our Commanding Officer. May your next 50 years be just as amazing as the first! #happybirthday #bestcaptain #lapd #lapdwilshire
