On November 10 the Seal Beach Police Department, in conjunction with the FBI and the California Armored Car Association hosted a seminar at the police station.
The program was designed to familiarize law enforcement robbery and homicide investigators with the personnel and equipment associated with the armored car industry. The industry is suffering from an increase in both robberies and the killing of their guards.—
They brought five armored cars to demonstrate how our officers should investigate them during armored car robberies and the killings of their guards. The 60+ police officials present complimented the program.
- Five Different Armored Cars As the principal investigative arm of the Department of Justice, the FBI has the authority and responsibility to investigate specific crimes assigned to it. The FBI is also authorized to provide other law enforcement agencies with cooperative services, such as fingerprint identification, laboratory examinations, and police training. The mission of the FBI is to uphold the law through the investigation of violations of federal criminal law; to protect the United States from foreign intelligence and terrorist activities; to provide leadership and law enforcement assistance to federal, state, local and international agencies; and to perform these responsibilities in a manner that is responsive to the needs of the public and is faithful to the Constitution of the United States.
“Even in the best of times, departmental resources seldom seem adequate to guarantee the level of public safety and public service expected by the community,” said Chief Jeff Kirkpatrick. “We appreciate being able to take advantage of these external resources.”
