There are thousands of
children who
do not make it
home each year,
and more who
fall victim to
sexual
exploitation. |
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, (NCMEC), is a private, (501)(c)(3) nonprofit organization which was created in 1984. The mission of the organization is to serve as the nation's resource on the issues of missing and sexually exploited children. The organization provides information and resources to law enforcement, parents, children including child victims as well as other professionals.
An estimated 800,000 children are reported missing each year – more than 2,000 children every day. An estimated 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually victimized before age 18. Yet, only 1 in 3 will tell anyone.
Clearly much more needs to be done. |

Community is first line of defense against terrorism - KABC-TV
Call:
877-A-THREAT
(KABC) -- The Los Angeles Police Department says a key part of their preparedness against terrorism is community involvement through the iWatchLA program.
The LAPD knows that community involvement is key to keeping the city safe. That's why the department is launching its iWatchLA program to encourage and educate the public to be alert.
They're the eyes and ears of the LAPD and likely the first line of defense against a terrorist attack. That's why the department is reaching out to the public with its iWatchLA program, encouraging the community to report anything suspicious. |

The Ultimate Social Justice Crime Fighting Tool
Chapters 8 & 9 by LACP's own Arthur Jones
EDITOR'S NOTE: We're very proud that LACP's own Arthur Jones was lead author of Chapters 8 and 9 in the newly released book Education-Based Incaceration and Recidivism, a work that takes a penetrating look at the needs and challenges of society's disenfranchised jail populations.
An increased body of researchers in educational leadership, ethics, law, sociology, corrections, law enforcement, criminal justice, and public health agree that social justice is concerned with equal justice, not just in the courts, but in all aspects of society. Social justice demands that people promote a just society where people have equal rights and opportunities; everyone, from the poorest person on the margins of society to the wealthiest deserves an even playing field. |

 LAPD Chief Chief Beck |
January 2012
by Chief of Police Charlie Beck
With the new-year upon us and a successful 2011 in our rear view mirror, I would like to take this opportunity to set the table for the coming year. As I'm sure all of you are aware, I set specific goals for the Department when I first became your Chief. This year I would like to continue our focus on those goals.
Our commitment to constitutional policing remains steadfast and strong. Continued crime reduction and community engagement is a top priority. Vigilance in our efforts to prevent terrorism is key and maintaining the personnel strength of the Department is my top priority. Finally employee wellness is vital to our overall strength as an organization and is something I really want to continue to focus on. |

Schedule of Trainings - Classes & Program - (pdf file)
The Los Angeles Fire Department's CERT Program (free of charge)
was developed because of the need for a well-trained civilian
emergency work force. The CERT Program provides for community
self-sufficiency through the development of multifunctional response
teams who act as an adjunct to the city's emergency services during
major disasters.
When emergencies happen, CERT members can give
critical support to first responders, and provide immediate assistance to victims. CERT members can also assist with non-emergency
projects that help improve the safety of the community.
Through this
unique program, people from community organizations, business and
industry, and city employee groups will become CERT members. They
work as a team member and perform as individual leaders by directing
untrained volunteers in the initial phase of an emergency. |

Community Policing |
There were thousands fewer crimes reported in 2011 than 2010 in areas the LAPD and Sheriff's Department patrol. The trend puzzles some but reinforces a common police view that other factors are at play.
by Joel Rubin, Los Angeles Times -
January 5, 2012
EDITOR'S NOTE: Here at LACP we're not hard pressed to explain the consistent reduction of crime in the LA area. The same phenomenon has been seen across the county for at least the last decade. To our mind, the philosophy of "community-based policing" has been accepted and implemented by more and more agencies all around America ever since the events of 9-11. The fact is that the residents have more and more become partners with law enforcement. Their ranks now include thousands of individuals who serve as a "force multiplier" .. proof beyond a shadow of a doubt that community participation matters, and that it works! |

2011 another good year for LAPD / LAFD !
by Bill Murray, LACP - January 5, 2012
There's no question we've got a lot to be grateful for when it comes to public safety in the City of Los Angeles. Our two principal agencies charged with keeping us safe, the LAPD (police department) and LAFD (fire department), have been doing a great job.
The statistics bear this out, and show both consistent reductions in crime and significant improvements in public safety over the last decade.
Mayor Villaragosa, LAPD's Chief Beck and LAFD's Chief Cummings announced the good news in press appearances yesterday. Here are the two press releases that followed their presentations. |

2-1-1 US - phone number
2-1-1 is an easy-to-remember three-digit phone number that brings people and services together. And 2-1-1 US is the entity that brings together the rich diversity of the national 2-1-1 movement.
The mission of 2-1-1 US is to ensure that 2-1-1 is Excellent, Everywhere and Always . The rapid growth of 2-1-1 during the first decade of development has transformed access to human services and this achievement needs to be both enhanced and sustained.
The essence of 2-1-1 is in its simplicity: its for everyone and can be remembered by everyone, free and confidential, makes the entire human services sector at every level of government work more efficiently, has proven itself time after time as an invaluable resource in the aftermath of a disaster, and is the number to call to give help and to get help. |
