LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva: Today Homeless Outreach Services Team and I walked the Venice Beach boardwalk. We met with business owners, residents, tourists, vendors, and those experiencing homelessness to better understand the crisis the city and countyof LA is currently facing. For over 170 years, the Sheriff has been the elected official tasked with handling law and order in the county. I hear the cries for help loud and clear from the community. LASD HQ will be at the forefront of this issue. I am expanding the Homeless Outreach Services Team team again. It’s time to reclaim and regulate public space for the community compassionately. It's time to help those in need get the services they require to get back on their feet.

NYPD: We encourage everyone to exercise their constitutional right to protest and everyone’s right to self-expression but throwing debris into the roadway only creates a dangerous and hazardous condition to the public.

Earlier this month LASD attended a Frontline Heroes’ Celebrations & End of Ramadan, event put together by (M.T.O.) Shahmaghsoudi School of Islamic Sufism in Reseda.
