Officer Nicholas LaCarra is a young man with a solid life plan. LaCarra grew up within the Los Al community, attending school within the LAUSD system, where he was a Student Athletic Trainer in high school and a Police Explorer from 2006 to 2009, achieving the rank of Corporal.
LaCarra joined the United States Marine Corps in 2009, where he served as a machine gunner, an I.E.D. Dog Handler and a Scout Sniper until his Honorable Discharge in 2015.
LaCarra promptly enrolled in the Golden West Criminal Justice Training Academy, from which he graduated last Friday.
On Monday, March 21, which was the very next day, Mayor Richard Murphy administered the Oath of Allegiance to Officer LaCarra.
Los Alamitos is fortunate to add Officer LaCarra to its ranks, and Chief Eric R. Nunez, along with the Los Alamitos Police Department, welcome him to the agency.
