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 investigate a stabbing: On August 13, 2022 at approximately 2:46 a.m., officers were dispatched to the area of the southbound 710 freeway and Shoreline Drive regarding a stabbing that just occurred. Upon arrival, officers located a male adult victim with non-life-threatening stab wounds to the upper body. Long Beach Fire Department arrived on scene and transported the victim to a local hospital. Preliminary investigation revealed the victim and male adult suspect were engaged in an argument, resulting in the stabbing. The suspect fled the scene prior to officers' arrival. The investigation is ongoing.

This information is preliminary and is intended for early information use rather than being a formal investigative report.
