We understand that the recent robbery has raised concerns about how and when information is shared with our community. We also recognize that when a serious crime occurs, residents want timely information, especially when it comes to their safety and the safety of their families.

In this case, investigators determined the suspects had fled the city, and decisions about releasing information were made based on the circumstances of the incident and the need to protect the ongoing investigation. However, we recognize the concerns raised by our community, and we're taking a closer look at how we can improve communication moving forward.

We want to hear from you. Join us for a Community Town Hall:

Today, October 4th, marks three years since we lost Officer Chad Swanson.

On October 4, 2023, Police Officer Chad Swanson died as a result of a traffic collision while riding his department motorcycle.

Officer Swanson served the City of Manhattan Beach for 13 years. He was a motorcycle officer and a member of the SWAT team. He is survived by his wife and three sons. His big smile, loud personality, and his friendship is missed everyday. Please take a moment today to honor Officer Swanson — his service, his sacrifice, and the joy he brought to our lives.

We miss you Chad.

Officers recently arrested this driver for DUI. Just after 6pm, he ran a red light at Marine Ave & Sepulveda Blvd and caused a traffic collision. Thankfully no one was injured in the collision, but he was found to be driving with a BAC of 0.16% (double the legal limit).

From August 19th through Labor Day, MBPD will have additional officers on patrol looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol & drugs. The additional efforts to prevent impaired driving are part of a national enforcement campaign, Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.

Let’s enjoy the end of summer! Designate a sober driver or use a rideshare service to get home safely. See a drunk driver? Call 9-1-1.

Funding for this program is provided by a grant from California OTS through USDOT NHTSA .

LASD Bomb Squad assists MBPD 🚔

Two potential explosive devices were found in a garage earlier today while it was being cleaned out.

Manhattan Beach Police officers quickly responded, evacuating a limited area and closing streets as a safety precaution. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Bomb Squad arrived and, out of an abundance of caution, took possession of the items.

We can confirm there is no threat to the community.

Appreciate the cooperation from residents and our partners at LA County Sheriff's Department !

🚲 Caught in the act… and the e-bike is back where it belongs!

On 8/15 our undercover detective team working the Manhattan Beach Open Volleyball Tournament spotted two suspects casing a bicycle rack. One suspect unlocked it, handed it off, and the other female suspect took off down the bike path like it was hers.

With a combined team effort to include our drone team and patrol officers, the bike didn’t make it far.

📸 1 – Suspect taken into custody
📸 2 – The “joyride” that didn’t last
📸 3 – The best part: the rightful owner getting his e-bike back with a big smile

Another successful recovery by the team. Props to our detectives for always keeping a watchful eye on our community.
