Engagement
A typical post picks up 118 interactions against 147K followers, an engagement rate of 0.082%. Measured over 29 original posts, its engagement rate beats 50% of 19,933 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 3.6K times each, and 3.25% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.47% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.1 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 29 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 69% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.3K interactions, about 28x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #fbi, #inglewood, #wanted.

Compared with accounts its own size
FBI Los Angeles's engagement rate beats 50% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (19,933 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 75% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.082%, FBI Los Angeles sits above the 25th percentile of the 201,665 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.142%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 20:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 100% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 69% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 100% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 69% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 595 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

A San Bernardino County man was arrested today on a federal grand jury indictment charging him and two other defendants with paying people on Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles to sign petitions using stolen identities of registered voters to qualify initiatives on ballots in California elections. James Brass, 47, a.k.a. “Lord,” of Victorville, was arrested this morning and is expected to make his initial appearance this afternoon in United States District Court in Riverside. Also charged in the two-count indictment are two petition circulators who worked for Brass: Courtney Price, 49, of Jacksonville, Florida, and Jateisha Herron, 33, of Boron, California. All three defendants are charged with one count of conspiracy to commit identity fraud in furtherance of a state felony. Brass and Price are charged with an additional count of identity fraud in furtherance of a state felony. Patrick Grandy, FBI Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI's Los Angeles Field Office, said, “It is imperative that Americans have confidence in our voting system and election infrastructure. The scheme outlined in today’s indictment sought to undermine an essential pillar of our democracy and cause an undue burden on taxpayers. We will remain vigilant in detecting those trying to weaken our political process and we will aggressively investigate any allegations of voter fraud or other election crimes.” @usao_losangeles

A former Oregon-based AT&T Store employee was sentenced today to 16 months in federal prison for selling his access to his employer’s network to a hacker by “SIM swapping” customers – fraudulently reassigning customers’ cell phone numbers – so the hacker could take control of the victims’ bank accounts and steal their money, causing nearly $600,000 in intended losses. Kenneth Carter, 44, of Portland, Oregon, was sentenced by United States District Judge Stanley Blumenfeld, Jr., who also ordered him to pay $99,528 in restitution. Carter pleaded guilty on March 24 to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud. “SIM swapping” is a technique in which a criminal fraudulently induces a mobile carrier to reassign a cell phone number from the legitimate subscriber’s Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card to a SIM card controlled by another without the legitimate subscriber’s authorization or knowledge. This process allows a criminal to intercept two-factor authentication codes sent to the victim via phone call or text message, and to gain access to the victim’s various accounts. @FDIC_OIG @IRS_CI @USAO_LosAngeles Additional details: https://t.co/kqVX8qkdBO

A man wanted by the FBI's Atlanta Field Office may be traveling in the western United States to avoid capture and, therefore, his photograph and description is being shared broadly. Watson may have traveled in Montana, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon and California. @FBIAtlanta has increased the reward of up to $20,000 in the case against Ronald Watson. Watson is wanted for his alleged involvement in the attack on the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in downtown Atlanta during the summer of 2020. Watson may have changed his appearance and may be dressing in women’s clothing. Anyone with information concerning Ronald Scott Watson should contact the FBI’s tipline at 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit a tip online at https://t.co/4Fu3GEX2Gz. According to court documents filed in Atlanta, shortly before midnight on July 25, 2020, a crowd gathered at the Atlanta ICE building and protested outside a fenced area. At the same time, several masked individuals wearing dark clothing breached the fences and vandalized the building. The rioters used rocks, cinder blocks, modified fireworks, Molotov cocktails, lighter fluid bottles, and other materials to cause more than $78,000 in damage. Inside the building, law enforcement found blood near a broken window and a lighter fluid bottle near an unexploded Molotov cocktail. Although the vandals attempted to conceal their identities, law enforcement identified Watson based on evidence collected following his January 2023 felony conviction for assaulting a public safety officer in Oregon. Members of the public are reminded that the indictment only contains charges. The defendant is presumed innocent of the charges, and it will be the government’s burden to prove the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.

An Orange County man was sentenced today to 360 months in federal prison for masterminding a massive health care fraud scheme in which nearly $270 million in fraudulent claims were submitted to Medi-Cal over an 11-month span for expensive prescription drugs containing generic ingredients that were not medically necessary and, many times, were not provided to the purported recipients. Paul Richard Randall, 67, of Orange, was sentenced by United States District Judge Mark C. Scarsi, who also ordered him to pay $178,746,556 in restitution. Randall pleaded guilty on April 7 to one count of wire fraud committed while on release. Additional details: https://t.co/X5MsylfVqg

Shiloh Luckey, 42, of #Inglewood, was arrested and charged in a 15-count federal grand jury indictment with defrauding venture capital funds out of more than $13 million by lying about her credentials and her now-defunct tax compliance startup company’s revenue, then using investors’ money to purchase a home, a Tesla, and pay for her wedding in the Caribbean. Luckey was arrested on Sunday in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, before she attempted to board a cruise ship for a vacation. Luckey was released on bond in the Southern District of Florida and is expected to appear in United States District Court in downtown Los Angeles in the coming weeks. Luckey is charged with nine counts of securities fraud, three counts of wire fraud, one count of bank fraud, and two counts of money laundering. @USAO_LosAngeles Additional details: https://t.co/2ljAqubrBi

- What is FBI Los Angeles's engagement rate on X?
- FBI Los Angeles (@FBILosAngeles) has an engagement rate of 0.082%, based on the median interactions across 29 original posts from the last 30 days against 147,075 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.082%, FBI Los Angeles sits above the 25th percentile of the 201,665 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @FBILosAngeles have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 50% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (19,933 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @FBILosAngeles post?
- Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.07 posts per day across the measured window.
