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:

• Stabbing - Anaheim Street and Cedar Avenue - On Oct. 3, 2024, at approximately 6:06 p.m., officers were dispatched to the area of Long Beach Boulevard and E Anaheim Street regarding a stabbing. Upon arrival, officers contacted a female adult victim with a non-life-threatening stab wound to the upper body. Long Beach Fire Department personnel arrived on the scene and transported the victim to a local hospital for her injuries. The preliminary information suggests the victim was in the area of Anaheim Street and Cedar Avenue when she engaged in a verbal dispute with a female adult suspect, which escalated when the suspect stabbed the victim. Both the suspect and victim fled the original scene on foot before officers' arrival. No additional suspect information is available, and the investigation is ongoing.

Great work officers! Last night, officers safely took guns and drugs off the streets.

• On Oct. 3, 2024 at approximately 7:20 p.m., officers conducted a traffic stop in the 5300 block of Atlantic Avenue. During the investigation, officers recovered two firearms, drugs, and cash. The suspect was arrested, and the investigation is ongoing.
