LAPD Transit Services Division would like to honor Deputy Chief Donald Graham for an incredible 30 years with the Los Angeles Police Department.

For his final day in uniform, Chief Graham chose to do what he’s always done best serve the community. He spent the day riding Metro trains, speaking with riders, and connecting with the public. He was also joined by his new partners at the Los Angeles School Police Department.

It was the perfect sendoff for a leader who never stopped showing up for the people of Los Angeles.

Thank you for your service, Chief. Wishing you nothing but continued success and fulfillment in your next chapter!
