Chevrolet Caprice, 1996

LAPD police cruiser in 1996

The Los Angeles Police Department, or LAPD, was a law enforcement agency in Los Angeles, California in the United States of America in the 20th and 21st centuries.

In an alternate 1996, Captain Braxton often had run-ins with the LAPD for posting signs around the beachfront, stating that it's the "Future's end." A few people complained about his actions to the police. During one such run-in, as one of the officers, Sims, approached Braxton, Braxton warned him to stay away and referred to him as a "quasi-Cardassian totalitarian." (VOY: "Future's End")

In April 2024, time travelers Seven of Nine and Raffaela Musiker visited the LAPD headquarters in Downtown Los Angeles in search of their missing companion, Cristóbal Rios, who had been deterred by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Since they could not find any useful help, Seven and Musiker stole an LAPD police car to search for Rios' whereabouts in the car's computer. They were chased by several LAPD officers in cars in downtown Los Angeles, before being beamed to Rios' location by Agnes Jurati. (PIC: "Watcher")

Gene Roddenberry worked for the LAPD between 1949 and 1956. (Star Trek Creator: The Authorized Biography of Gene Roddenberry, p. 110, 151) Spock was inspired by Captain (later Chief) William Parker, whom Neal McDonough portrayed in the TNT show Mob City alongside Simon Pegg, and for whom James Cromwell's character in LA Confidential worked for. (citation needededit) According to a popular, yet never confirmed myth, Klingons were named for an LAPD Lieutenant named Wilbur Clingan. (Star Trek: The Original Series 365, p. 141)
