Deputy Chief of Police
Los Angeles (CA) Police Department
Deputy Chief (DC) Emada Tingirides joined the LAPD in 1995 and has worked tirelessly to bridge the historical gap between law enforcement and the community. She promoted to Sergeant in 2006 and in 2011, was selected to work with Civil Rights attorney Connie Rice of on the creation and implementation of the Community Safety Partnership (CSP) program. The relationship-based policing model found new and innovative ways to address quality of life issues in some of Los Angeles most underserved communities. Incorporating a dedicated team of officers into public housing communities helped enable residents to get involved in programs, advocate for themselves and thrive without the fear of crime in their community. As relationships were forged and community trust increased, crime at each of the CSP sites dropped dramatically. In 2015 Tingirides was named the Public Official of the Year and was a distinguished guest of First Lady Michelle Obama during the State of the Union Address. Tingirides promoted to Lieutenant in 2016, Captain in 2019, and DC in 2020 leading the first ever Community Safety Partnership Bureau. Tingirides has a master’s degree from UC Irvine.
