Councilwoman Hahn Attends Grand Opening of New Police Administration Building
Councilwoman Hahn and LAPD's Sergeant Emada Castillo at the ribbon cutting.
On Saturday, I attended the ribbon cutting for the LAPD's new police administration building in downtown Los Angeles. It's a beautiful new structure that I'm sure will serve the police force and the community very well for years to come. The state-of-the-art new facility has a beautiful fountain and garden in front of it for everyone to enjoy, two acres of green space behind the building which is also open to the public, and a rooftop garden on top of the building. Now we just need our new police chief to go along with it!
During the ceremony, SWAT officers draped a giant flag over the top of the building and then rapelled ten stories to the ground. It was a spectacular and moving sight to behold!
I'd like to encourage everyone to stop by and take a look at the new headquarters next time you're in downtown Los Angeles. It's not just the LAPD's facility -- it's everyone's facility.
