Happy National Exercise Day! Physical fitness is not just a job requirement; it's a crucial aspect of a SWAT officer's overall readiness. The strength they build while training translates directly into their ability to perform under pressure, carry heavy gear, and navigate dangerous situations with agility and confidence.

This week is National Animal Control Officer Week, a week dedicated to recognizing the hard work, dedication, and compassion of animal control officers. Today, we honor the NBPD Animal Control Officers (ACOs), who play a vital role in keeping the animals of Newport Beach safe. Animal Control Officers respond to calls for help with wildlife, rescue pets in distress, enforce animal cruelty laws, and provide education on responsible pet ownership. Whether it’s running a shelter, reuniting lost pets with their families, or rescuing wildlife in danger, their impact is profound and far-reaching.

Newport Beach Home Invasion Robbery Under Investigation The Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD) is investigating a home invasion robbery that occurred in the early morning of April 16 in the Newport Coast neighborhood. The incident is contained and there are currently no threats to the community. The crime appears to be a targeted incident involving a prior connection between the suspects and victims. Police received a 911 call at approximately 4:45 a.m. reporting a possible home invasion near Newport Coast Drive and Pelican Hill Road North. The caller reported that one of the residents shot a suspect while inside the home. The injured suspect and one other suspect then fled the house. NBPD officers responded to the area and found a male armed with a handgun laying in the street with apparent gunshot wounds. That suspect was transported to a local hospital where he is currently being treated. The second suspect was located in bushes near the victim’s home. He was found with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head. He was pronounced deceased at the scene. All four people from inside the residence were safely evacuated and uninjured. The incident is being actively investigated.

Today, we honor and remember the bravery and sacrifice of NBPD Officer Bob Henry, whose life was tragically cut short in the line of duty. On March 12, 1995, at 4:08 am, while on patrol, Officer Henry was critically injured during a shooting. He displayed remarkable heroism at the scene and continued to fight for his life in the hospital. Despite his valiant efforts, Officer Henry succumbed to his injuries 33 days later, on April 13, leaving behind a legacy of courage that continues to inspire us all. To Officer Bob Henry’s family and friends, please know that his sacrifice will never be forgotten. The NBPD stands with you in honoring his memory and celebrating his life.
