Still Unanswered Public Safety Questions by LA County, Lancaster and Palmdale    

In the event of a Large Earthquake, will most of OUR Sheriffs be reassigned to guarding the prison rather than patrol and security duties in the community?  

 If there is a prison break how will the residents, schools and businesses be warned?   Will most of the Sheriffs be at the prison?  How many?

Many people aren't aware of a great, free service offered by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's department. You can give them a call and they will send a volunteer officer or sheriff deputy by your home while you're away. They will check for anything suspicious like broken glass, open windows, open gates and other clues that may indicate a break-in.

Call the number corresponding to the city or sheriff station closest to you and request a Vacation security check.

My father died in 1987. When the doctor told me he was dead, I did not blame the doctor. I blamed my dad for over-eating all those years, giving himself heart disease.

Blaming the LASD for crime in the AV is just silly. Crime is a result of character flaws in individuals, which are the result of lack of education and lack of adequate child-rearing skills on the part of parents.

80 percent of the deputies in Palmdale and Lancaster actually live here. They have a vested interest in making their community safer. A local police force, as some have advocated, will set us back twenty years in resource capability. I am not a cop, so I am not "trying to save my job." I work for lawyers in West Los Angeles.
