2. LAPD CRIME REPORT
BURGLARY THEFT FROM MOTOR VEHICLE ALERT!
An automobile is never a safe or secure place to leave any valuables whether locked or unlocked. If any property is left unattended in the car, even for just a few minutes, IT WILL BE STOLEN! Even something as simple as a small sun glass case, an empty backpack or gym bag will cause your car window to be smashed resulting in hundreds of dollars in damage alone.
Car burglars are taking a variety of small electronics and valuables. The top items being taken in most car burglaries are back packs, portable GPS systems, IPODS, cellular smart phones, lap top computers, IPADS, purses, wallets and money.
The West Los Angeles Area continues to be a target rich environment. A variety of car burglars canvass neighborhoods throughout the night to commit their crimes while most of us are sleeping. Although many arrests have been made, the crimes continue occur. This tells us there are numerous suspects that are targeting neighborhoods.
The Los Angeles Police Department is making every effort to combat this problem.
Community awareness and involvement is instrumental to the prevention of these crimes.
Please do not leave ANY property visible in the car! Remember to Lock It, Hide it, Keep It!
Current Trending Analysis:
Residential Burglaries: North of Santa Monica Blvd. (0 crimes), North of Wilshire Blvd. (0 crimes). North of Sunset Blvd. (1 crime). Auto related crimes (Break Ins and Stolen Vehicles): North of Santa Monica Blvd. (3 crimes), North of Wilshire Blvd. (0 crimes) North of Sunset Blvd. (2 crimes).
Package Thefts appear to be trending throughout the area. Packages being delivered and left unattended in accessible areas are being stolen. Please arrange to have packages dropped off in a secure location or receivable location.
3. EMERSON MIDDLE SCHOOL
We have been informed that there will be no co-location offer at Emerson for the upcoming school year. See the announcement below.
Dear Emerson Community,
We are pleased to share with you the news that we received from LAUSD Superintendent Ramon Cortines that the District will NOT issue a Prop 39 co-location offer on the campus of Emerson Community Charter for the upcoming 2015-2016 school year.
So many of our parents, students, teachers and community members came together to voice our strong opposition to the potential co-location of a high school on Emerson’s campus. For weeks we rallied together by signing petitions, writing letters, attending meetings, canvassing the neighborhood and sending emails. This is what we can accomplish when our community comes together. We feel privileged to be part of Emerson and we look forward to continuing to work together to keep our school a vital community asset.
Sincerely,
Michele Bollinger & Maureen Feldman
Co Presidents, PACE
4. HELICOPTER NOISE
There’s a
new website where you can track active helicopters in flight over Los Angeles and register a noise complaint. The legislation to regulate the private air traffic over neighborhoods is stalled in Congress, but maybe charting complaints is a step forward.
