Here’s another cool picture of some color swatches on the side of the ferry building. A lot of the spots where the plaster is broken, used to be entryways to access the ferry. I can’t wait til the whole building is finished. It should really spruce up the view on Harbor Blvd.

If you’ve braved Harbor Blvd during Navy Week, you probably noticed a couple of things. 1) Traffic is CRAZY and 2) There is scaffolding put up around the Ferry Building/ LA Maritime Museum.

That concludes the tour of the brand new Port Police building. I couldn’t stay for the ribbon cutting, where I hear Mayor Villaraigosa, Congresswoman Hahn and, my favorite, Director Knatz presided over the ceremony. At the end of the tour you got a ticket for free tacos and you could get up close and personal [...]

This is the armory room right outside the shooting range. This is where the officers will be cleaning their guns. The vacuum is for all the gun powder and other residue. How handy would a vac like this be in the kitchen?!

Believe it or not, there is a shooting range on the top floor of the new Port Police Building. It is equipped with both a live ammunition and simulated training system that responds to the actions of the training officer. They gave us a demonstration of the virtual training system but they couldn’t shoot anyone [...]

How many times have you thought that the door to your office should (or would) be taped off with police tape? I couldn’t help myself with this picture. These are the upstairs offices right outside the Chief’s office. This is the roll call/ briefing room.

The building’s not even open yet and we already have to make some changes. I’m kidding. I’m referring to the fact that Janice Hahn is in the Council Person spot when we all know that she is now Congresswoman Hahn. I’m happy for her, but I just wanted to make a little joke. I know [...]

The Port Police Building isn’t 100% ready, I don’t think the officers will be moving in right away, but they wanted to have the ribbon cutting ceremony to coincide with the centennial anniversary of the Port Police on July 23rd. This sign gave us the visual of the Port Police seal that will be inlaid [...]
