On Saturday, July 13, Temple Sheriff’s Station’s Captain Christopher Nee and more than 100 envoys from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department took to the streets in the unincorporated areas of Monrovia, Arcadia, and Duarte to kick off the “The Public Trust Partnership Program.”
Members of the Sheriff’s Department gathered Saturday at Pamela Park, located in the unincorporated area of Duarte. Deputies and support staff went door to door for several hours asking residents what they felt about their particular neighborhood.
Braving the heat to meet the residents and solicit information regarding criminal activity as well as quality of life issues, deputies and volunteers spoke with over 800 people.
This past Saturday July 20, Chris Nee and fellow officers from Temple Station offered the results from that previous Saturday’s survey.
Residents seemed delighted that the department was making a determined effort to tackle a complex problem in urban areas of Los Angeles County not covered by other police agencies.
It seemed, surprisingly, that the number one complain residents have in these areas is traffic. Then, loud parties/drug/gang activity.
As the ‘cost-neutral program’ expands, it will multiply the field forces of all Los Angeles County Sheriff’s
Now all the data is collected from last Saturday’s survey, Nee and his emissaries will “interact with the community to develop and implement strategies to combat those issues identified by residents.”
