LOS ANGELES -- High school prom is a rite of passage for many students, and the Los Angeles Police Department is now helping some teens hit the dance in style.
"We always kind of saw that need in our community, let alone when a student's celebrating their graduation," said Cynthia Hernandez from the L.A. City Attorney's Office."We hate for financial circumstances to be the limitation. So, we are excited to provide all of these things free at cost." "I was here on Thursday helping out, and I was already looking at some of the dresses," Lopez said."It was very exciting to see the different amount of dresses and the colors, and they were all really pretty."
