The Los Angeles Police Department prioritized patrolling Brangelina's house on Tuesday after she filed for divorce from her A-list husband. The police SUV was circling the $5 million Los Feliz, Calif. property, where the couple lived with their six children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox Jolie Pitt.
"We were up there providing extra security for the family and the neighborhood," LAPD Public Information Officer Tony Im told RadarOnline.com exclusively about the police presence by the massive compound.
"Angelina will always do what's in the best interest to protect her children," Geyer Kosinski, her manager, recently revealed to RadarOnline.com. The LAPD SUV was ensuring the safety of the family at their Los Angeles home.
Im told RadarOnline.com that the LAPD were on patrol at their massive compound in order to shield the family: "We were dealing with quality of life issues for the neighborhood."
Jolie, 41, revealed that she and Pitt, 52, separated on September 15, 2016, and in her bombshell court documents asked for joint legal custody of their six children, but full physical custody.
Im explained to RadarOnline.com, "We went by to make sure that no one needed anything and that everyone was respecting the neighborhood."
