Could you please mention the pg of the crime report being referenced?

The monthly reports are accessible on our website www.culvercitypd.org under the Office of the Chief page

Thank you!

are there similar violent crimes in other neighborhoods, in this time period, in culver city

You were going to talk about two fires in Fox Hills?

What would you reccomend

sorry, for neighborhood watch

Can we have more police patrol in Fox Hills, particularly the park area and plaza are?.

I believe there was another robbery at the cvs parking lot, the victim was a female and her phone was taken.

Yes there was a carjacking at CVS and they didn't discuss it.

Also they said they would discuss two condo fires in Fox Hills

888777

Is the city considering adding video surveillance cameras in streets around fox hills where most crimes seem to occur?

this is what happens when you shut down biz and don't pay people to stay home. theft gos way up

Agree we should look at cctv

Considering the modifications to traffic enforcement, are red light traffic camera citations being reduced based on those metrics? Reduced by “low income” so in essence reduced citation fees for those with a “low income” verification they will pay a lower rate with a “discount”?

when walking around Fox Hills, any tips if you feel you’re being followed?

There appears to be an increased amount of criminal activity in and around the CVS across from CHP station. Have businesses there stepped up security and will there be increased police presence in and around this area.

gil go to the nearest door we have lots of apts

cvs has security but very bad lighting

I saw a security guard outside of that CVS this afternoon

the property owners of cvs are terrible people don't care about the area

There has always been security at the CVS but people are still being robbed and carjacked in and near that shopping center

I am hearing on social media that some people have called in when they have witnessed package theft but could not file a report because they were not direct victims. Could you please expand on the policy and is there a way to take down witness statements without a report?

the property owners of cvs are still pissed we stopped them from builind a high rise there a few yeears ago

but the violent crime,, car jackings, etc

How often is CCPD scheduled to patrol Fox Hills? I notice they patrol quite regularly other areas of CC.

it seems like there is a pattern..

seems like a patterns with these violent robberies at gun point

Yes, but I have been here 10 years and this is the first time I've been afraid to take my kids out for a walk. When people are getting kicked in the head at 4:30 in the afternoon, then I think there is a problem.

should we set up a citizens patrol?

How often are those routine patrols scheduled for Fox Hills specifically?

I rarely see a police car on Buckingham prkwy

yes they bike around the park

I personally will not go outside our complex after dark due to all the crime. I was about 5 minutes ahead of the carjacking on Canterbury.

I rarely see a police car on Canterbury Drive

We need additional support in the residential areas of Fox Hills, not just the mall.

How often are those routine patrols scheduled for Fox Hills specifically? In particular the residential areas?

a lady on nextdoor.com witnessed theft of several packages, photographed the thieves' license plate, CCPD refused to take her report because she wasn't the victim. Is that routine procedure?

Does anyone think Defunding our CCPD is still a good idea? We have a District Attorney in LA George Gascon who is not prosecuting felony crimes. How is crime going to be reduced now that criminals are empowered they will not be prosecuted.

I rarely see officers patrolling at all in the neighborhood, I am sad to say

Angie’s statement needs to be addressed

Drone?

Could the current robberies in the area be the work of one gang rather than multiple gangs?

CCPD stance on homelessness

would it help police if the city purchased license plate readers throughout the city?

NO to all the people saying surveillance, the best is group patrols

thank you Judith.

Does it appear to be any similarities in the descriptions of individuals or vehicles in recent crimes - meaning does it appear to be the same individuals?

How is that possible, we got an email about it and had to rekey our entire complex

It occurred in the last 3 weeks.

please take note of angie question regarding trying to make a police report

i think its pretty clear surveillance assists the police on almost all crimes

Was the arrest that you made in the carjacking a gang member?

surveillance is great after the crime is committed, but patrols help deter crime. we need to deter these people from coming into our area.

Can a substation be set up in the CVS plaza? There are vacant units...

can’t stress enough the need for additional patrols in the area in and around GVC, Canterbury, Buckingham

guardian angeles anyone?

are you preparing for the gang parties coming to the park like last year?

How many officers are assigned to the Fox Hills area. On the Day shift and Night shift

solving crimes quickly also help deter crime

I would like to ask a question directly

wayne NO it doesn't, worked in the security field for 15 yrs

Is police staffing at full force? If not, how many officers are needed? Is there funding for hiring to bring the force to full force.

We have noticed cars racing on Canterbury Drive blowing the stop signs and coming dangerously close to causing accidents between 6pm-11pm. Is there a way to provide these folks with citations?

How many officers are on patrol in our entire city on an average day and realistically, because CCPD cannot be everywhere at all times, what can we as citizens do to assist CCPD and possibly deter crime in our neighborhood?

Yes, I hear the engines of those cars zooming down the street @Lyn.

How often are routine patrols (both patrol cars and those officers on bicycles) scheduled for Fox Hills specifically? In particular the residential areas? How do we compare with other areas of CC or CC districts?

are most of the criminals the police are arresting residents of CC or other nearby cities?

how many patrol cars at a time are driving around the city, assuming that they are not called on to deal with something

We have an increase in car speeding in our area, especially noted on Canterbury Drive. What can be done? How do we get speed bumps installed?

How large is the district that includes Fox Hills? How many officers per district?

the best deterrent is a citizen patrol

We could definitely use speed bumps on Canterbury and Buckingham

…but shouldn’t the mall assume more of that responsibility?

Green Valley Highway is a speeding zone as well

What intersections/corridors in Culver City have the highest traffic collisions/fatalities, etc...?

citizen patrols? what science do you have to back that up?

I don’t think monitoring speeding is a major concern considering people’s cars/packages are being stolen on a regular basis…

@Derek-yep.

the mall should take on some of that responsibility...why do we have to suffer as a residential community

Are the individuals committing crimes residents of CC?

the city already HAS them

NOOOO

Who are you @peoplesparty.org?

A resident in fox hills

peoplesparty- you seem to not care about solving crimes in this neighborhood? what’s your deal.

I think being proactive in preventing injury or death from speeding cars is very important.

wayne whats your deal

Can we talk about how we can get traffic calming measures on Canterbury and Buckingham please

What is the process?

how may officers area assigned to Fox Hils Area in the day and then in the night

@peoplesparty.org...how does citizen patrol deter/prevent crimes that happen with a gun as you suggested?

@yuovene sure it is, but are people being injured on a regular bases as a result of speeding? If so then I’m all for it. I haven’t seen anything specific with regard to that, which is why I don’t think it should be prioritized at this moment when, again, people’s cars are being stolen

visibility and reporting helps

How many of you voted for the city council candidates last November that said they wanted to Defund CCPD? How is CCPD to respond to higher crime or more empowered criminals if you Defund them? There were three candidates who wanted to Defund CCPD by 50%. Still a good idea.

peoplesparty - you seem to not have any science backing your claims.

When the criminals are apprehended/ arrested, what is the typical punishment. Would they be released in 3-4 months and back at it?

WE ARE AFRAID TO GO OUT AT ANYTIME OF THE DAY NOW!

GUN INCIDENTS ARE TOO FREQUENT

wayne stay on topic

It's not just at night anymore

What about the crazy street art.. dangerous!!

how are the new da’s policies affecting crime in our city?

Agree with Karyn - we are afraid to go out, too. Assaults on the street. A woman was assaulted and kicked in the head!

I am afraid and asked my kids not to go walk day or night! My friend got attacked the afternoon. CVS parking has cars parked smoking weed…and I stopped going with my son with our bike after they were making comments.. are you looking at what is happening in that CVS parking lot?

SHOOTING AT THE MEADOWS AT 1PM

karyn was that 5800 ?

I wanted to commend you on the great work you do in the community 2020 was a terrible year Hopefully when covid dies down and people live somewhat normal again we will see a decrease in these crimes

Agree 100 percent with Sharon’s comment...

A neighbor on Doverwood Drive has told us that he has seen people engaged in sexual activity in cars, along the cemetery, after 11:00 pm. More patrols are needed, please.

I’m not fearful. But can we know how many CCPS officers are on patrol in Fox Hills in the day and in the night

gotta love an anonymous group telling us we shouldnt add resources to help solve crimes

TOTALLY appreciate our CCPD and the tough job the choose to do

I don’t know

citizens patrol? so gang members can rob three people together instead of one person?

Thank you for what you do every day!!!

wayne just hide inside then jfc

check out the guardian angels type model

its pretty clear many people are just “staying inside”

Thank you, Judith! You're awesome.

get the same color tshirts group together go for walks say hello to people and report suspicious activity

I know it’s a continuous issue, but I feel that CVS shopping mall needs to be redeveloped in a manner that addresses everyone’s concerns

Thank you Judith and CCPD for doing this

Why can't more police be hired to patrol more?

Do you have enough resources?

yes bright yellow shirt wearing folks, that should keep armed criminals away

Thank you for everything you are doing. We had a building theft in November (packages) and we reported it and provided security footage. the guy was caught in late January and the detective followed up with me.

Can you give that number again

Thank you! Great to know!

what resources do you need to increase your presence in this area

spinning cars?

frequently

Good idea Wayne until the criminals start wearing bright yellow shirts lol

(310) 253-6208

(kidding)

What about pepper spray and tazers

That's great to know! we should all call the # to request increased patrol in and around the FHills area!

leaigh ann - i hope you picked up on the sarcasm 🤪

Thank you Michael

The car racing seems to occur most on Sunday evenings by Slauson & Sepulveda.

Thank you FHNA and CCPD for your time tonight.

You did not cover need for additional funding

what is your opinion of residents carrying pepper spray, tasers

Are u planning for the summer gang parties like last year?

could the police use additional resources? if so for what?

$$

Whatever "weapon" you use (i.e. pepper spray, taser), you'll have to be prepared that it'll be snatched out of your hands and used against YOU

The car racing/drifting seem to be occurring around the corner from CHP headquarters.....

@Linn-yes

Thank you Officer Yabko and Officer Sims! Your job is not easy especially during these times of increased crime trends in areas that aren't regularly as active!

please mention the website

To clarify, the question I would like answered is: Are there plans to increase the amount of officers?

email :Marissa.yabko@culvercity.org

Thank you, that is great info

Phone: 310-253-6258

Katrina, I think they have been talking about decreasing the police budget, please see last council meeting

CCPD we REALLY need greater presence in FH - evident by recent armed crime events

Thank you so much!

We are all on your side!!

vote out those in favor of defunding

not today a few mos ago

The criminals coming here are creating the fear.. not our dear police department.

Is the CVS / Marshalls plaza still going to get redeveloped any time soon? Or is there a freeze on that for now?

NOT TODAY

With the recent changes in Policy do the officers feel they are going to be less effective in their duties

That shooting was months ago

I believe that was last fall

Meadows incident was a few weeks ago on a Sunday

Thank you Officer Yabco and Deputy Chief Sims and the CCPD for your service. It is tough environment.

There was a question about pepper spray.

Bicycles have been stolen off 2nd story balconies in "secured" access buildings. Please bring anything of value in.

thank you CCPD - you certainly have a tough job.

Ask about funding

What is the frequency of these meetings?

im sorry to hear about your experiences Karyn. its so sad to hear about.

Sorry about that, Karyn, how awful what happened at the laundry

Thank you Officer Yabko & Simms. I hope the three Defunding minded Council Members Lee, McMorrin & Fisch don't cut the department any more than they have already or tie the hands of CCPD officers any more than they already have.

What about some kind of Press conference by CCPD - crimes have increased but criminals are not welcome in this community - don't come here. Arrests are being made! We don't want to wait until after the first homicide!

I doubt it would be wise to fire off pepper spray if someone pointed a gun at you. Ask yourself in which situations it would be helpful. As said above, it's more likely that you weapon will be taken from and used against you.

California Roll at Fox Plaza held up last week at gunpoint

My question still hasn't been answered

Thank you for coming to talk with us tonight

We appreciate you FHNA & CCPD

Solving these crimes would be a great deterrent.

we upgraded the security lights recently

Thank you Officers Sims and Yabko. Your time and suggestions are appreciated.

more cameras in the city seems like a fairly inexpensive asset

We appreciate you!

Karen, many progressive ( liberal ) members of our community feel criminals should have more rights than the law abiding citizens. You're seeing the effects of that thinking now on our streets of CC.

KM exactly!

this is all thanks to this ridiculous defunding. I'm not hopeful anything will change until the City Council changes.

Yep KM - Exactly!

how can we get a copy of the recording?

we have council members who want to decrease police funding?

Nothing has been defunded to date

Thank you, all for being here for us

one mcmorrin

Yes. McMorrin is present. Ask her why she thinks Defunding CCPD is a good idea?

id like to know too

Thank you Officer Yabko and Asst Chief Sims for your time and information.

she is there

I see her

she's there

i see her - speak up

Thank you Judith in moderating this webinar.

she/her lol and there you have it...

She appears to be hiding

Yasmine McMorrin is on

lets hear from the council member

Thank you Judith

Are there regular meetings every month for this group?
