The LA Fashion District Operations Committee met this week. It heard presentations from LAPD Captain Rodriguez and Senior Lead Officer Steve Carrillo, Newton Division, and their team, including narcotics officers and the neighborhood prosecutor. The discussion focused on medical marijuana dispensaries and the increase in graffiti. The committee also heard a presentation by TRaCE. "TRaCE is a multi-agency task force working to combat the illegal underground economy and protect public resources." The task force focuses on tax evasion, piracy, counterfeiting, and human trafficking.
Free Graffiti Removal Services for Property Owners
Another job well done by the Fashion District Clean Team! The property owner at 1616 S Los Angeles St. called our Field Office to report graffiti on his property and Field Supervisor Elmer Pacheco promptly removed it. The district has seen an increase in tagging of up to 70-90 tags per day. The BID provides graffiti removal services to all properties in the district free of charge. Please call 213-741-2661 to report graffiti on your property.
