Deputies to Ask Residents About Crime Concerns
Residents will be given a chance to express their concerns about crime and other city problems today when a team of Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies goes door-to-door in the East Los Angeles neighborhood to conduct a survey to identify quality-of-life issues.
A team of 20 deputies from the East Los Angeles sheriff’s station will canvass an area that for decades has been plagued with violent gang activity. The effort is part of the sheriff’s High-Impact Community Policing Program.
“I think it’s an excellent program that creates a bond, a partnership between the community and law enforcement,” said Deputy Elsa Avila, a Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman, who will be among those conducting the survey.
Among the questions are: “How safe is it for you to walk in your neighborhood after dark?” and “What problems do you want solved first?”
The survey will begin at 9 a.m. at Harrison Elementary School, 3529 City Terrace Drive.
