14A49 COMMUNITY BASED ON POLICING MEETING MAY 11, 2005

Officer Heidi Llannes conducted the meeting. 

It was announced that Officer Pete llanes is our new Senior Lead Officer replacing Sgt. Beacham. He will be on board the first week in June. When he takes his new post the phone number that was assigned to Sgt. Beacham wo;; be activated and given to Officer Llanes. 

We were reminded that for non-emergency situations to phone 1-877-ASKLAPD. If you have trouble getting through to the front desk at Pacific Division, phone the Watch Commander. 

There was a question about police working under cover. Officer Llanes stated that when police go under cover they do not notify the public. If police gave feedback to the public it could endanger the police or blow the case. It can take as long as a year or more for the police to build a case. Most of the time it is not a simple task. 

On Wednesday, approximately 9:00 P.M., shots were fired at Inglewood and Allin. Luckily, no one was hit and the bullet casings were recovered from the scene. One of the neighbors got a good description of the get away car. The gang unit is working on this.  

In the Marcasal neighborhood 13 and 14 year olds are breaking into homes. They knock on the door and ask to go into the backyard to retrieve a ball. Then, a few days later the homes are the broken into.  

Want to make some extra money ? If you see someone doing graffiti or graffiti that needs to be painted out, advise the police. If the police apprehend the perpetrators, you will receive a reward. Sgt. Chace is in charge of gang units. The Gang Unit phone number is 310-840-2159.  

If you are bothered by loud bands playing at parties accompanied by drugs and alcohol, call 1-877-ASK-LAPD. Live bands must have permits whether they play indoors or outdoors.
