1.  HWPOA BOARD MEETING

Next Tuesday, November 11 at 8:00 PM, the HWPOA Board of Directors will hold it’s monthly meeting at Belmont Village (10475 Wilshire Blvd.). Members of the community are welcome to attend, though space is limited. Please let us know if you plan to attend, by emailing Dana at hwpoa@aol.com.

2.  LAPD CRIME REPORT

Protect your home from Residential Burglary. A common MO that has been occurring is suspects who typically knock or ring the doorbell to verify if the resident is home. When there is no answer, the suspects enter the side or rear of the residence and force entry by smashing the window or door glass to gain entry. Suspects are targeting the master bed and bath areas of the home and removing Jewelry and small electronics.

Another Burglary trend that has been occurring is construction thefts and break ins. Items of value being targeted are construction tools, equipment, appliances and building materials. If you observe after hours suspicious activity at a construction site or major remodel location, call 911 immediately!

Package Thefts: These continue to be trending throughout the area. Packages that are being delivered and left unattended in accessible areas such as front porches, condo or apartment lobbies are being stolen. The holidays are around the corner and this crime will only increase. Protect yourself and make arrangements to have any package deliveries to be made at secure locations or to be accepted at a place of business.

3.  WEST LA FOOD DRIVE

Please join the West LAPD in a collaborative effort to end hunger in our community.  Last year we collected 27,000 lbs of food which made a huge impact in the lives of many families.  This year we would like to DOUBLE that number and we need your help!

We ask that you hold your own food drive and bring the items you collect to our event on Sunday, November 23rd.

Event Location:
West Los Angeles Community Police Station
1663 Butler Ave.
Los Angeles, CA 90025
Event Date:
November 23, 2014 from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm

Please contact us at 310.444.0735 for additional information or to request a food collection bin. You can also sign up and get more information about this event at:

THANK YOU FOR WORKING TOGETHER WITH US TO END HUNGER IN OUR COMMUNITY.

4.  BEVERLY GLEN REPAVING PROJECT

The Resurfacing Division has scheduled Phase II of resurfacing for Beverly Glen on Saturday November 15, 2014 and Sunday November 16, 2014. The 1.6 mile segment of resurfacing will be from Beverly Glen Place to Greendale Drive. The department will be profiling on Saturday the 15th and will repave the following day on Sunday the 16th, with an estimated 4100 tons of asphalt. The resurfacing crew will begin at 6:00am and will be done before 5:00pm on both days.

The department will only allow local traffic but no through trafficbetween Greendale Drive and Beverly Glen Place, as they will have many trucks and heavy equipment working within the narrow roadway. This is especially true on Sunday when they pave.

As always, any Emergency Response Vehicles will be given full access to their destination. With high expectations the department expects to complete this project within the two days.
