I couldn't be more happier for Jim McDonnell and @LAPDHQ. His extensive experience in policing, steadfast professionalism, and dedication to the diverse communities throughout LA will contribute to his success. Congrats Chief McDonnell!

Facing Fentanyl National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day August 21 youtu.be/r3uEjA14gJU?si=TGDQ… via @YouTube
August 21st marks National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day™, a solemn occasion dedicated to honoring the memory of those who have fallen victim to illicit fentanyl poisoning. It serves as a poignant reminder of the profound devastation inflicted upon countless families and friends affected by this perilous drug. This day stands as a unified effort among fentanyl awareness organizations, impacted families, and individuals sharing their lived experiences to collectively warn and inform our youth, the public, and the unsuspecting.
This nationwide initiative urges all Americans to unite in the cause. Federal, state, and local agencies are called to participate actively, contributing to the vital mission of saving lives through heightened prevention and awareness efforts. Hosting community events dedicated to National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day and disseminating resources on fentanyl and other hazardous substances can prove instrumental in safeguarding lives.
The gravity of the situation cannot be overstated. Fentanyl represents the gravest drug threat our nation has ever faced, propagated by transnational criminals. Alarmingly, an American succumbs to a drug-related death every five minutes, with children under 14 bearing a disproportionate burden of fatalities from fentanyl poisoning. Exploiting social media platforms, distributors are making access to dangerous drugs alarmingly easy for our youth. Thus, comprehensive prevention education is imperative to stem the tide of this crisis.
It is incumbent upon us all to be well-informed about the perils of illicit fentanyl. By collectively spreading awareness about its dangers, we can shield families from the anguish of fentanyl-related tragedies. Let us join forces to educate, advocate, and protect our communities, fostering a culture of health, productivity, and drug-free living.

Thank you @MikeRogersTV @kcalnews for showing @LASDHQ PIO personnel how a newsroom functions & how we can improve our media relations. We appreciate the collaboration w/ all the news media professionals. The role of the media is important esp when conveying public safety issues.
Amazing work by our @MDRLASD Boat Deputies & @LACoLifeguards in saving 5 people in a dangerous situation near the breakwater. @LASDHQ

The @LASDHQ Overdose Response Task Force fights to take fentanyl off our streets & hold individuals accountable who sell the deadly dose that kills a person. Electronic payment methods & delivery services increase the ease & availability of fentanyl in our communities.
The number of overdose deaths in the U.S. has nearly doubled in the last four years, according to the CDC. In Los Angeles, CBS News’ @carterevans rides along with a task force that is using a new strategy to hold dealers accountable for fentanyl-related deaths.

Before today's game, we paused to remember and honor Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer, a life-long Dolphins fan and member of the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Dept, who was tragically killed in the line of duty earlier this month. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and community.

I want to let to our community know Deputy Clinkunbroomer left his family tonight to serve our community. He laid everything on the line to serve us. He wore a uniform just like other @LASDHQ deputies wear, driving in a police car, and he was senselessly murdered tonight.

Our aim was to “follow the money” in the illicit marijuana industry and it led us here … to a sophisticated money laundering operation run jointly but Chinese criminals and the Mexican Cartels. Our thanks to @DEALOSANGELES and @USTreasury for their help in our report.
EXCLUSIVE: DEA tells us Chinese organized crime financing U.S. black market pot may be a part of a larger international money laundering operation on behalf of Mexican cartels. Here’s the fifth report in our @NBCNightlyNews series “Captives of Cannabis.”
