Chief Beck prefaced his general report with an update on the mass shooting incident that occurred in Las Vegas on October 1, 2017. Over 70 off-duty LAPD personnel attended the event and were present at the time of the shooting. Many attended the concert with family members or large groups. LAPD dispatched six members of the Employee Assistant Unit to Las Vegas to liaison with medical staff to attend to the needs of LAPD employees.
Chief Beck added that several commissions are attending an event later today to bring people together and to begin the discussion of unity.
Chief Beck noted it is tough for a first responder to be a victim and not be able to do what they are trained to do. The LAPD psychologist has reached out to each member who attended the event to make sure their needs have been met, and the LAPD is doing everything it can to help these members.
Chief Beck added that one LAPD officer and two family members were shot in the incident.
Chief Beck provided updated crime statistics. Chief Beck reports 9,975 sworn personnel, 2,870 civilian personnel, 400 reserve officers and specialists volunteers, and 2,100 cadets.
