Rick M. Madrid
Paramount Studios
Rick M. Madrid has been an invaluable partner in the Los Angeles Police Department’s Community Policing efforts and has enhanced the quality of life for citizens in Los Angeles. He believed that citizens and law enforcement need to share the responsibility for our collective safety.

the first Terrorism Symposium held at the Paramount Theater

Rick’s hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence was greatly appreciated as he always found a way to lend a helping hand where and when needed. His gracious leadership and participation greatly contributed to a better quality of life for those in the Hollywood area and beyond and he will surely be missed.
