Welcome to the family #LAPD Class 1/23! 💙. Officer Carolina Mendez was a standout throughout Recruit Officer Training at the Los Angeles Police Academy and demonstrated her exceptional driving skills! Congratulations on earning Top Driver - #1 in the Emergency Vehicle Operator Course (EVOC)! We wish Officer Mendez the best of luck as she begins her career at Northeast Area. 🙏🏼

We joined local leaders, friends, and loved ones for a special ceremony—the LAPD’s Northeast Station was renamed in honor of the Department’s first female Deputy Chief, Margaret “Peggy” York. A special tribute for a special person. Watch the livestream: fb.watch/grTGJEuRBd/
