LAPD helicopters no longer showing on the app

Hi- I have noticed the LAPD helicopters are not showing on the app any more. Private helicopters are, and sometimes fire helicopters. What happened? How do we get it back?

They've probably either swapped their transponders to no longer broadcast ADS-B data (still visible to the airspace as TIS-B targets but invisible on FR24) or have simply requested the site block them from showing up.

They're not broadcasting ADS-B anymore for some reason. It's like they don't want to be tracked. Use adsbexchange.com. It's unfitted data. They will show the Tis-B tracking info. Which doesn't show the tail. Looking into this more. adsbexchange is always unfiltered. They have a nice iOS app too. All the other services are bad. Just about money.
