El Segundo Police Officers' Association The El Segundo Police Department Police Officers Association (ESPOA) was established in 1949 to represent sworn members of the El Segundo Police Department

The El Segundo Police Department Police Officers' Association was established in 1949 to represent sworn members of the El Segundo Police Department. The City of El Segundo has a population of approximately 20,000 residents and during the daytime rises to approximately 100,000 because of the influx of workers who work in our wonderful city. The El Segundo POA has a total of 55 members. The El Segundo POA is active in our community by supporting many charities and public awareness events. From donating funds to our schools, athletic organizations and the El Segundo Teen Center, the ESPOA strives to assist in any way we can. We are proud of the service we provide and the leadership role law enforcement serves in our community. We strive daily to provide a safe and secure community while treating all others with dignity and respect. A Board of Directors consisting of the President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and three board members, governs the El Segundo POA. Its members elect the Board every year.

Today is National Move Over Day. Only two in three drivers believe the law requires them to do anything special when they pass a stopped police car on the roadside.

That is from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety's 2025 national survey. For tow trucks, it was 58 percent. And among drivers who did know the law applied, fewer than half knew it asks them to slow down, not just change lanes.

All 50 states have a move over law. Hawaii was the last to pass one, in 2012. The rule is simple: when you see flashing lights on the shoulder, move over a lane if you safely can. If you cannot, slow down well below the limit until you are past.

In 2025, 36 roadside responders were struck and killed by passing vehicles, according to the Emergency Responder Safety Institute. Law enforcement, fire and EMS crews, tow operators, road service and highway workers, all standing a few feet from traffic doing their jobs.

Members of this association work that shoulder. So do the tow drivers and road crews beside them.

💗 Going Pink for a Purpose! 💗

Your two favorite ESPD School Resource Officers are trading in their usual look for a little PINK in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

As SROs, they’re here to protect, serve, and support our students and school communities — and today, we’re proud to stand alongside the many survivors, fighters, and families affected by breast cancer.

Together, we wear pink to spread awareness, show support, and honor those who have fought and continue to fight. Thank you to SRO Mendoza and SRO Crenshaw for your support with the Pink Patch Project To get your own pink ESPD items, please visit www.espdppp.com

National Coffee with a Cop Day started with a simple problem. Most people only ever met the police on the worst day of their week.

In 2011, Chief Keith Kauffman and John Dixon of the Hawthorne Police Department in California tried something different. They set up at a local coffee shop, with no agenda and no speeches, and let residents walk up and ask whatever they wanted. By 2016 the idea had spread to all 50 states.

It is now held on the first Wednesday of October every year, which this year is October 7.

The format has not changed, because it does not need to. A table, a cup of coffee, and time to talk about the things that never come up during a call. Parking. School traffic. Why the sirens were out on Tuesday night.

Members of this association know the most useful conversations rarely happen in an emergency.

🎀💗 PINK PATCH SEASON 💗🎀

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we are proud to wear pink patches in support of everyone affected by breast cancer.

This little patch represents so much more than a color — it’s a reminder of strength, hope, courage, and the importance of supporting one another. 💕🎀

Proud to wear pink and stand with those fighting, those who have fought, and the families who have supported them every step of the way. 💗 Patches and other swag can be purchased at www.espdppp.com

In 1917, an Army captain named Robert Queisser designed a small flag for a window.

He had two sons serving overseas. The flag he patented carried a blue star for each family member in service, and families across the country began hanging them where neighbors could see. It was a quiet way of saying that someone from this house is out there.

If that person did not come home, the family sewed a gold star over the blue one.

That is where the term comes from. Not a medal. Not a designation handed down by an institution. A mother with a needle, covering a blue star, in a window on an ordinary street. In 1918 the practice was formalized when the Women's Committee of the Council of National Defense asked President Wilson to approve a gold star for mothers who had lost a child in the war, and he did.

Gold Star Mother's and Family's Day is observed on the last Sunday in September, this year on the 27th.

Members of this association know Gold Star families in the communities we serve. Most of them will not say so out loud.

If you know one, they do not need a speech. They need to know their person is still remembered by name. Share this post in their honor.

There is a POW/MIA flag flying at your post office right now. Federal law puts it there.

The National POW/MIA Flag Act, signed November 7, 2019, changed a rule most people never knew existed. Before it, the flag was required at federal sites on six days a year. Now it must fly on every day the American flag flies. At the Capitol. At the White House. At every national cemetery, every VA medical center, the World War II, Korean War and Vietnam Veterans memorials, and every post office in the country.

It is also the only flag other than the Stars and Stripes ever to fly over the White House.

The design came out of a request from Mrs. Michael Hoff, whose husband was missing in Vietnam, and was adopted by the National League of Families in January 1972. A silhouette, a strand of barbed wire, a watchtower, and four words. You Are Not Forgotten.

More than 80,000 Americans are still unaccounted for from past conflicts.

Members of this association pass that flag most days without looking up. Today is a good day to look.

Share this post in their honor.
