All 27 flights in March 2026. Flights with a sensitive stated purpose are listed and drawn as an area, not a path. Times are local to the agency.

How this page is made

  • Every flight in the agency's published record is counted and listed; drawn paths are the whole flight, takeoff to landing.
  • The record's free-text description is never read into a page. A flight whose stated purpose names a domestic, sexual-assault, kidnapping, welfare, mental-health or juvenile matter is listed like any other but drawn as a generalised area, not a path.
  • Operators are the agency's own accounts in the record, numbered within the agency in order of first flight; no name or address is read into a page.
  • Purposes are the agency's own words, grouped into classes by a fixed list of terms; unmatched values are "Other" and blank ones "Not stated".
  • Times are shown on the agency's own local clock.
  • Boundary. "Pico-Union" is a neighborhood polygon from City of Los Angeles DataLA (LA Times Neighborhood Boundaries), licence "CC-BY-4.0".
  • A flight counts for this area when its path crosses the boundary; only the part inside is drawn.
