The following update was provided by Los Angeles Police Department Senior Lead Officer for Pacific Palisades Brian Espin on September 5.
The security companies that have been contracted by the city will be leaving the Palisades. They have done a great job of assisting us (LAPD) with the extra eyes and ears for the community. We will still have our LAPD footprint staying in the Palisades.
Please remind any of your contractors working in the area to keep their tools and equipment secured at all times, even if they are physically there working.
Now that summer is winding down, it also means a lot of people will be traveling in the morning and afternoon traffic hours to and from schools. Please be patient on the roadways and always plan to have a little extra time to get to your destination. Most accidents happen when people are in a rush or not paying attention to what’s going on around them.
Check your property often (or have someone check it for you) to prevent squatters or someone frequently entering your property.
Tell your construction crews to secure their tools and equipment to prevent theft. Do not leave tools lying in the back of trucks or unlocked vehicles.
Have construction crews GPS tag all high-end equipment.
Place and secure tools and equipment in well-lit areas of the property and monitored by security cameras.
