The Mayor’s Crisis Response Team at LAPD OVB 911 Communications Division tonight. We are extremely grateful for the tour and the very informative presentation by the two awesome PSR’s that spent the evening with CRT discussing the incredible and difficult service they provide to our City of almost 4 million people! Last year, 911 operators took over 4.8 million calls citywide from Angelenos!

We know that our services are appreciated by the people we serve, because we can see it in the faces of survivors. However, we don't always get to hear it. Our CRT management team, received this note and we would like to share with you: "Our whole neighborhood is so grateful for the Mayor's Office Response team and the support they provided after a suicide." OWB-Hollywood constituent. We deeply appreciate the recognition and will continue to provide meaningful support that impacts Angelenos during their darkest moments.

Early this morning our City and Police Department lost a young officer tragically to a senseless act of violence. RIP Officer Juan Diaz as God welcomes you home.

Thank you CRT for the important work you did today. Officer Diaz... you have an incredible family and they will be taken care of, we promise you that! #Thinblueline #lapd #Blessedarethepeacemakers #wegotyou
