On 10-4-23, at about 5:15am, Manhattan Beach Police Department Motorcycle Officer Chad Swanson was involved in a fatal on duty traffic collision on the 405 Freeway.

Officer Swanson was a 13-year veteran of the police department and also served as a member of the MBPD SWAT Team and Honor Guard. His service was marked with a strong sense of duty, professionalism, and a genuine desire to make the community safer. He was not only a colleague, but also a friend to many, and his absence will be deeply felt.

Officer Swanson is survived by his wife and three young boys (4, 2, and 10 months old). Please help the MBPOA support Officer Swanson’s family through this devastating time and the future.
