Moore said it is important to report all crimes. If a crime is not reported, it is not entered into the LAPD database–and crime numbers drive the allocation of officers. If people in Pacific Palisades don’t report crimes, this area is viewed as low crime, which means less police coverage.
To report a crime in progress, call 9-1-1. To report any non-emergency crime, call (877) 275-5273. A crime that has occurred may be reported in person at the West L.A. police station, 1663 Butler Ave. (Call: 310-444-0702) or some crimes may be reported online.
Hi Sue, I had an idea that may help us in our battle against these predators. Some people on Nextdoor liked it. Thought I should take it further. It involves creating an app for our phones that w/ push of button would post our address. Like an Amber Alert. One could add description, car, headed in X direction. Our residents would be educated about it, given number to call & when, and signs posted around Palisades that Community Watch in place and we’re ready. My thought is deterrence may be our best defense.
This would be specific to the Palisades unlike the Crime app associated with 911. What do you think? ?
