Off-Duty Officer Killed in Car Crash

Simi Valley: 2017 got off to a
tragic start for the Los Angeles Police Department. Early this
morning we were notified about the death of one of our police
officers assigned to Devonshire Division. Police Officer III
Heather Monroe was off-duty when she was involved in a fatal
traffic collision in Simi Valley.

We understand Monroe was a passenger in the vehicle when it
crashed. Losing an officer is devastating, but the pain is
intensified for the men and women of the Department when it happens
during what is supposed to be the happiest time of the year. The
Simi Valley Police Department is investigating the crash and any
questions should be directed to that agency.
