Former LAPD Officer Clifford Proctor Arrested After International Travel Despite Murder Indictment
Former Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer Clifford Proctor, 60, was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on October 16, 2025, after returning from an international trip, despite an active murder indictment related to a 2015 incident in Venice Beach. Proctor had been indicted in September 2024 for the on-duty shooting death of unarmed homeless man Brendon Glenn, 29, in May 2015.
Proctor’s defense attorney provided court documents indicating that Proctor had traveled to Trinidad four times since the indictment, returning to the U.S. without incident each time. During periods when he was not traveling, Proctor resided in Los Angeles County. His attorney stated that Proctor was unaware of the murder charge until his arrest at LAX.
Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office confirmed that investigators monitored Proctor’s residence in Carson, California, in October 2024. However, by the time the arrest was authorized, Proctor was not present. Notably, Proctor canceled a return flight to the U.S. through Miami in late October 2024, and investigators lost track of his location in 2025.
Proctor resigned from the LAPD in 2017. The incident leading to the indictment occurred in May 2015, during an attempted arrest in Venice Beach when Proctor fatally shot Brendon Glenn, who was unarmed at the time. This incident has been a subject of ongoing public scrutiny and legal proceedings.
After his arrest, Proctor was released on $100,000 bail in November 2025, under conditions that include surrendering his passport, wearing an ankle monitor, and remaining in California for the duration of the legal proceedings. His next court appearance is set for early next month.
