LAPD Air Support Division
Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Air Support Division began almost 70 years ago to support traffic officers but quickly became effective in all aspects of police work.

The @LAZoo is celebrating the birth of a new western lowland gorilla, the latest in a series of great ape births this year.
The infant arrived on November 22 and is the second baby for parents N’djia and Kelly. The newborn’s name and gender are not yet known, and the pair is now on view at the Zoo’s Campo Gorilla Reserve.
This marks the fifth great ape born at the Zoo in just a few months, following three chimpanzees and one orangutan earlier this year.
