LAPD 3rd Annual Cesar E. Chavez Commemorative Luncheon
The Cesar E. Chavez Commemorative Luncheon gathers community leaders, consuls general from several Latin American countries and LAPD to renew their commitment to social justice and respect for human dignity.
The LAPF was a proud sponsor of this celebration that not only honors the life and triumphs of the civil rights leader, but celebrates the continued partnership between the LAPD, Latinos, and the community at large by creating a positive working relationship and open communication.
"Lock It, Hide It, Keep It"
The most common property theft crime in the San Fernando Valley is theft from a motor vehicle, costing an average of $1,885 in property loss per victim. The “Lock It, Hide It, Keep It” campaign combats these crimes by informing the public of simple steps that will protect them from becoming victims.
The LAPF provided funding for additional banners, billboards and public service announcements to be placed in strategic locations.
“The campaign has been very instrumental in the LAPD’s crime prevention strategies,” said LAPD Sgt. Ruthann Scott. “Any pro-active steps the community can take to assist with crime reduction will ultimately impact the quality of life within our communities.”
LAPD Featured in Internationally
Televised Parade
With funding from the Los Angeles Police Foundation, the Los Angeles Police Department was featured in the 123rd Tournament of Roses Parade on January 2, 2012. Thirty-seven members of LAPD participated in this internationally-recognized event, including Chief Charlie Beck, the Metro Mounted Unit, the Emerald Society Pipes and Drums Band, and the Color Guard.
This parade is seen by approximately one billion spectators and viewers worldwide. The Department’s participation was an excellent way to showcase the Los Angeles Police Department as a preeminent law enforcement agency while enhancing the LAPD's positive public image.

LAPD's 3rd Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Breakfast
Chief Beck presents an award to Reverend Cecil Murray, retired minister of the First AME Church, for his leadership in the community.
The MLK Breakfast celebrates the life, legacy and vision of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. with an annual breakfast at the University of Southern California. This event marks the third year of the LAPD partnering with the community, USC and the Los Angeles Police Foundation in this celebration.
The breakfast acknowledges the engaging and positive relationship between the LAPD and the City's African-American community. It also presents officers with an opportunity to renew their relationships with the community and restore public confidence, crucial components in the LAPD's ability to combat crime.
LAPD Command Staff Receive New Crime Fighting Technology
Thanks to LAPF Board member Jeffrey Neu for purchasing 120 iPad 2 Tablets for LAPD’s command staff.
These iPads assist commanding officers with their weekly, monthly and annual statistics for individual Part I crimes, property crimes, and violent crimes, and allows them to quickly verify that field activities are accurately reflected in the statistics.
The iPads will also be used to develop, test, and implement law enforcement mobile applications such as crime scene mapping and perimeter mapping, crime scene and homicide investigations, and traffic investigations. Command staff can also reference Department Manuals and California Vehicle Codes and Penal Codes by using the iPads.
