2. LAPD CRIME ALERT
BURGLARY (entry of structure w/intent to commit theft or a felony)
Incident #: 180818959
SUNSET BL & HILGARD AV | 11/6/2018 @ 6:45 AM
POLICE DRAGNET – WHAT TO DO
Last week in Brentwood, a suspect broke in to multiple homes in the area within a few hours. All homes were within a few blocks of each other. Police searched for the suspect with helicopters, canines and officers on the ground. This police dragnet activity occurred in the darkness of night. After several hours of searching the area, the suspect was apprehended by the police.
During police actions like this, it is recommended to do the following:
- Lock all windows and doors.
- Turn your alarm on Stay mode.
- Turn on all perimeter lighting around your house.
- Call 911 if you have important information about the crime in progress.
- DO NOT call 911 to get information.
- You can call the West LA police on their non-emergency line:1-877-275-5273 (1-877-ASK-LAPD)
SECURITY CAMERAS
While they can be annoying and intrusive, many cameras like Nest and Ring have motion sense capabilities which send you a text when someone is on your property. A back or side yard camera, in addition to a front facing camera, can give you an early warning of trespassers.
3. METRO PURPLE LINE COMMUNITY MEETING
The last section of the Purple Line Extension Transit Project, Section 3, will add 2.56 miles of new rail to Metro’s Rail system and connect downtown Los Angeles to the Westside. The two new stations will be added at Wilshire/Westwood and Wilshire/Veteran Administration property.

4. INFORMATION PACKETS FOR FIRST RESPONDERS
We are all still horrified by the recent shootings in Pittsburgh and Thousand Oaks. One thing that could potentially help first responders in similar incidents is information regarding the layout of the building, keys, phone numbers and special considerations. LAPD Officer Maria Gray has outlined suggestions for the creation of a “First Responders Information Packet”. If you are involved with a business, school, place of worship or any facility that may benefit from this information, please click below for additional information.
5. FREE BULKY ITEM DROP-OFF EVENT

6. VETERANS TOWN HALL
Join Congressman Ted Lieu for a community forum aimed at establishing a greater understanding between local veterans and the friends and neighbors for whom they served.
Veterans are invited to share what their service means to them. Non-veterans are invited to attend, listen, and learn. We will feature a variety of stories from the various eras and conflicts, from the various branches of the service and from female and male veterans. The stories will be exciting, inspiring, scary, sad or funny, but most of all it is about something the Veteran experienced while in the service. This is not your normal Town Hall. It’s more of a community forum aimed at establishing a greater understanding between local veterans and the friends and neighbors for whom they served.
WHEN:
Sunday, November 11, 2018
11:30 A.M.-1:00 P.M.
WHERE:
Los Angeles National Cemetery

Los Angeles, CA 90049
