An Evening with Detective Rick Jackson (Ret. LAPD)

The Rotary Club of Moraga is pleased to host Detective Rick Jackson (ret. LAPD) for an evening dinner program. Rick will talk about his three decade career as a homicide detective at the Los Angeles Police Department as well as his work as a consultant for best-selling crime fiction writer Michael Connelly, best known for his numerous books on fictional LAPD Detective Harry Bosch. 

Rick was assigned to the specialized homicide section known as Robbery-Homicide Division for 23 years. As a member of RHD, Rick worked in three very unique, homicide-oriented units: the Major Crime Investigation Section (MCIS), the Homicide Special Section (HSS), and the Cold Case Homicide Unit (CCHU). The Cold Case Homicide Unit’s work also included the identification of suspects and the solving of several serial murders cases.

During the last decade of Rick’s career, and since his retirement, he has been a consultant for Michael Connelly, who has a long list of novels that reached No. 1 nationally. Immediately following his retirement Rick worked as one of the technical advisors on the Amazon-produced television series, “Bosch,” based on the Michael Connelly novels. He worked in that capacity for Seasons 1 and 2. For the past two years (2017 to present), Rick has returned to his “cold case passion,” currently working part-time in the Cold Case Homicide Unit for the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office.       

Your ticket includes the program and dinner. Please join the Moraga Rotary Club in welcoming Detective Jackson for a unique and entertaining presentation!
