A new community patrol has been organized, "Beverly-La Brea Community Patrol." The areas being covered are from 6th Street until Melrose (South/North) and Hudson until Fairfax (East/West), focusing primarily until Gardner. The shifts and hours of the patrol are totally based on how many volunteers we get. We have been sending out volunteers for this patrol almost daily, even 2-3 times a day. A shift is usually 2 hours. The more volunteers we get the more cars and areas the patrol can cover. We are in close contact with the police and we even supply the police with information collected from our patrol members. Each member is asked to commit to patrol at least once a month. We have been instrumental in assisting the police with information of suspicious activity which have led to several arrests. Basically each volunteer has the choice to go alone (which I prefer so we can have more cars out) or with a partner and is assigned to a specific area to patrol within our boundaries. We are looking for men/women 18 or older. Currently we are focusing on the evening shifts of 7-11 P.M. Being that many of the crimes are occurring during the day, we need volunteers during the day as well. Please submit your information in the below link. The purpose of filling this out is so that we can schedule as many shifts and hours possible.
