LAPRAAC is a private club which was established over 85 years ago by Los Angeles Police Officers as a training facility. A labor force of Los Angeles Police Officers and trustees built the historical Rock Garden and stonewalls that highlight the driveway, towers, and courtyards. The 1932 Olympic pistol shooting competition took place at what is now know as the Los Angeles Police Academy. The Academy grounds have been(and still continue) to be used as the location of many television and movie productions. It is the training site for the tens of thousands of men and women who have passed through the halls while learning to be professional police officers.

LAPRAAC is the history, the social outlet, the fitness arm of the Los Angeles Police Department. Of all the organizations surrounding the Los Angeles Police Department, LAPRAAC has left the biggest foot print on the Department history and the officers well being.
