Welcome to the LBPD Blotter!

As part of our ongoing commitment to external communications and providing valuable information to our community, the Department will begin posting information about recent police activity, ongoing investigations, and other LBPD updates to the Department’s homepage and on the “News” tab of the Department’s website.

At approximately 10:00 a.m. each day, community members will be able to read preliminary information about incidents that may have occurred the previous evening, including shootings, stabbings, traffic fatality, and murder investigations, as well as any other notable incidents. This page will be a resource for the public to learn more about enforcement efforts, arrests, and commendable events and will be updated as new incidents occur.

Here’s a recap of incidents occurring last night:

• Officers arrest suspect for criminal threats, restraining order violations, and a weapons violation: Today at approximately 12:06 a.m., officers responded to an apartment complex in the 2300 block of E 2nd Street regarding a neighbor dispute, which was later updated to a restraining order violation. Upon arrival, officers contacted the calling party who stated one of the residents in the complex, a female adult suspect, was in violation of a restraining order. During their investigation, officers discovered that the suspect was in possession of an inoperable firearm, which was subsequently recovered by officers. The suspect was arrested and transported to Long Beach City jail for booking. The suspect has been identified as Lorrene Lake, a 58-year-old resident of Long Beach, who was booked on one count of felony criminal threats, one count of felony possession of a firearm in violation of a court order, and one count of misdemeanor violating a restraining order. Bail was set at $50,000.
