On July 13, 2013, Temple Sheriff’s Station Captain Christopher Nee and more than 100 ambassadors from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will take to the streets in the unincorporated areas of Monrovia, Arcadia, and Duarte to kick off the “The Public Trust Partnership Program.” The Public Trust Partnership Program was designed to enhance public trust, reduce crime, and improve the quality of life in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County by addressing issues identified by the community. The program will utilize the resources of the Countywide Services Division, Temple Sheriff’s Station, COPS (Community Oriented Policing Services) Bureau, Reserve Forces Bureau, and volunteers from the Community Law Enforcement Partnership Program, as well as other County, State and Federal agencies. As the cost-neutral program expands, it will multiply the field forces of all Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Patrol Stations.
The Public Trust Partnership Program effort will begin when the ambassadors administer a community survey at each residence in the program area. Survey responses will be used to identify the ongoing quality of life and crime issues deemed most important by the citizens served by Temple Station. Captain Nee and his ambassadors will then interact with the community to develop and implement strategies to combat the issues identified. These efforts may include operations focused on burglary suppression, narcotics suppression, gang mitigation, graffiti/vandalism abatement, juvenile delinquency, neighborhood safety after dark, abandoned vehicles, stray animal control, illegal vendor enforcement, loud parties, and enhanced traffic enforcement, among others.
The fundamental principle of the “Public Trust Partnership Program” is to establish and nurture positive relationships with the people we are privileged to serve. It is the Sheriff’s Department’s mission to persistently cultivate meaningful partnerships with diverse communities throughout Los Angeles County and to enhance public safety through a focused effort between law enforcement and the public.
