Electronic Donation Drive at LAPD Pacific Division

Thank you to all who donated blood!

Thank you to all who came out and supported our blood
drive at the Spring Fest at Mar Vista Rec.  The room was
buzzing all day! You are very much appreciated. 

Thank you to all who came out and supported our blood
drive at the Spring Fest at Mar Vista Rec.  The room was
buzzing all day! You are very much appreciated. 

The average take in of blood for a drive is 12 pints. Mar Vista gave them 20! 
One pint of donated blood can save or help up to three lives. This is achieved because the collected blood is typically separated into three key components—red blood cells, plasma, and platelets—which can be used individually to treat different patients, such as trauma victims, cancer patients, or infants. Thank You Mar Vista!!!

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.
