Local police and sheriff on heightened alert during manhunt
Pasadena police as well as most law enforcement agencies including Los Angeles County Sheriff’s are taking extra precautions to ensure the safety of officers as the search continues for a former LAPD officer suspected of shooting three police officers, one fatally, and killing two others.
Patrol officers have been deployed as two-person units and traffic enforcement officers who are usually on motorcycles are traveling as pairs in police cruisers .
Burbank and Glendale police departments took similar steps as hunt for the cop killer spreads across the Southland in what has become a massive manhunt for fired LAPD officer Christopher Dorner. There have been numerous ‘sightings’ of Dorner but none has proved fruitful.
The latest was at Twin Towers correctional facility in Los Angeles which is, ironically, on lock down.
