Welcome to the LBPD Blotter!
As part of our ongoing commitment to external communications and providing valuable information to our community, the Department posts preliminary information about incidents that occurred the previous evening, including shootings and stabbings, as well as any other LBPD updates to the Department's homepage and on the "News" tab of the Department's website. This page will be updated as new incidents occur.
Here's a recap of incidents occurring last night:
- No shootings nor stabbings reported overnight.
Great work officers! Last night, officers safely took a gun off the streets.
- On Sept. 22, 2024, at approximately 5:59 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 700 block of East 6th Street regarding a person pointing a gun call. Upon arrival, officers conducted a high risk traffic stop of a male adult suspect as described by the victim, and took him into custody. The suspect was subsequently arrested and transported to Long Beach City Jail for booking. During their investigation, officers recovered a firearm and determined the suspect to be a prohibited possessor. The investigation is ongoing.
