Safe Team
Clean & Safe Team Work Together to Prevent Car Vandalism 
We doubled up on Safe Team coverage this week to address possible protests and we're happy to report there were no major incidents in the LA Fashion District.

As a result of extra coverage the evening shift BID officers worked in unison with the Clean Team to arrest a suspect seen breaking into a car. We conducted our investigation and noticed two vehicles had been broken into and notified LAPD. LAPD conducted their investigation and the subject was arrested and transported to Central Division.

Central Divison Senior Lead Officer (SLO) Jamilah Jones-Linton praised the work of our Clean & Safe Team. "Awesome work, what an intricate part you all play in making the area more desirable and safe," she said.

The area had been hit with three car break-ins last week, which is rare for the area. SLO Linton-Jones believes our team may have helped capture the person responsible for these thefts.

SLO Linton is going door to door asking merchants and employees to stow their personal items out of sight. If a theft occurs SLO Linton encourages people to file a report with the LAPD.
