Would members of the force be willing to meet
with kids in the neighborhood? National Night Out is a good opportunity to interact
with the police.
-
How long are residential vehicles (RVs) allowed
to park on Holdredge? Vehicles can park 72 hours. If
they move even an inch the clock starts over. Officers are coming by to monitor
the area. Also Holdredge is
in Los Angeles City, not Culver City.
-
How can we avoid break ins in the neighborhood?
Security systems, dogs, Ring video doorbells are helpful deterrents. You can
call the police before you go out of town and they will patrol your street
while you are gone.
