Los Angeles, CA – The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is in mourning following the tragic deaths of two of its officers. Senior Lead Officer Paul Jordan and Sergeant Felicia Robinson both passed away under circumstances that have left the community and the department in shock.
Paul Jordan: A Life of Service
Officer Paul Jordan, who was nearing retirement after decades with the LAPD, died in a car accident while heading home from his shift. Jordan, who was stationed at the Hollywood Division, was known for his dedication to community service both on and off duty.
Besides his work with the LAPD, Jordan had a secondary career with Disney, where he was remembered fondly by colleagues. Doug MacLeay, a close friend and coworker at Disney, paid tribute to Jordan, saying, “We use the term hero loosely at times but Paul was totally a hero to me. He spent his career protecting the citizens of Los Angeles. Paul was a big man, both his physical presence as well as how he carried himself.”
Jordan leaves behind his wife, son, and daughter, who now face life without a beloved husband and father. The LAPD Wilshire Station released a statement in tribute: “Officer Jordan dedicated his life to serving and protecting our community with commitment and compassion. His presence will be deeply missed by his colleagues, friends, and the countless lives he touched.”
Felicia Robinson: A Dedicated Sergeant
In a separate incident, Sergeant Felicia Robinson from the 77th Street Division also passed away. Details surrounding her death were not immediately available. Robinson was known for her commitment to her fellow officers and the community she served.
Community and Department in Mourning
The LAPD has not yet announced funeral arrangements for either officer. The community and the department are coming together to remember and honor these officers for their service and sacrifice.
The dual tragedies have sparked an outpouring of support from the public, with many taking to social media to express condolences and share stories of interactions with Officers Jordan and Robinson.
As the city grapples with these losses, there’s a renewed conversation about the risks officers face daily, even outside of direct line-of-duty incidents.
Continued Support

The department encourages anyone wishing to honor their memory to consider donations to charities that support law enforcement families or to participate in community remembrance events once they are organized.
