After 31 years of dedicated service with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Lieutenant Patrick L. Libertone last assignment was at Fraud and Cyber Crimes Bureau (FCCB). While on his way home from work, he conducted a traffic stop to address a reckless driver. Following a brief exchange, he began walking back toward his department vehicle when he suddenly collapsed on the sidewalk after suffering a heart attack.
An off-duty first responder who witnessed the incident immediately came to his aid, but despite every effort to revive him, Lieutenant Libertone could not be saved.
Lieutenant Libertone leaves behind his wife and four children, as well as a legacy of service, dedication, and commitment to the community he served for more than three decades.
His memory continues to live on within the Fraud and Cyber Crimes Bureau. A portrait and plaque bearing Lieutenant Libertone’s name has been placed on the wall of the FCCB office, serving as a lasting tribute to his service, sacrifice, and the lasting impact he made on those who worked alongside him.
