100 years of serving our community

On February 26, 2026, LAPD Pacific Division celebrated a pretty remarkable milestone — 100 years of serving our community — with a Formal Divisional Inspection joined by the Chief of Police.

Zone 3 Director Andrew Marton was there to represent Mar Vista at this special occasion.

It was a proud day honoring the officers, staff, and families who have made Pacific Division what it is over the past century.

For those of us in Mar Vista, it's a good reminder of the partnership we share with our local division and the people who show up for our neighborhoods every day.

LAPD Pacific Division officers stand at attention during the formal inspection ceremony marking the 100th anniversary of Pacific Area, February 2025.

Floral tributes honor fallen Officers Gilbert Reyes and Phillip S. Riley among the 239 LAPD officers lost in the line of duty, remembered during Pacific Division's centennial celebration, February 2025.
