T5' Since January 1991, there h:.s beu� a high level of en€orcement activity in the vicinity of Califomia Avenue and Seechwood Avenue. NaTcoar.s Rurrau has conducted eight sepazate "buy bust" operations resuldng in. ten atrests. They have also served two narcotic rclated search waaants during. the same period in the area At least thirty five reports have been prepared by patrol personnel and resources were committed to the foliow-up of those reports. Several "spe�ial patrol requests" have been provided to the patrol in the form of briefing memorandums and have resuited in an increased patrol presence and a. heightened awareness of the criminal activity in the azea. Safe Streets Bureau and the Gang Enforcement Team have also targeted the area for special enforcement due to the numerovs complaints regarding criminal activity in the area. �►11G�i��-, � �"'`' ��i �1-��*'Yt.�`1'iTtr� � � � � t , -+ �'�� - �O'�+lA� �� I�,.�� ' ; �� r �u��:� � 6�y/�,� ItECENED CITY OF LYNWOOD JUN 041991 �� ; CITY MANAGERS JUN 0� 1991 OFFICE �$ � C � O�I(� � �;� �l : RECEIYED i '-`"""' " � C�!'

HII2IOT, CTI'Y MANAGER OOD STAT'fON CiTY OF LYNWOOD SUBJECT: TEAM POLICING There has been recent interest in the "team policing" concept to the delivery of law enforcement service and its applicability to the City of Lynwood. "Team policing" for the Los Angeles County SherifFs Department has its origins at several of the larger stations with multiple contract cities, such as Lakewood Station and Norwalk Station. The concept dedicates individual deputies to a specific geographic area for a specified period in an attempt to develop a stronger bond between that individual deputy or group of deputies and the community they work in, rather than assign a different deputy each day. Lynwood Station has only four cars assigned per shift that do not work directly for the City of Lynwood (East Rancho Dominguez and Willowbrook). These cars transit the City going [o and from their patrol areas and often provide police service when they observe criminal activity or when called into the City for assistance. The remainder of the patrol force is dedicated to [he service of the City's needs and comprise the "team" providing service to the City. In an effort to provide closer bonds wi[h the community, individual field officers are assigned to attend block watch meetings and presentations at the Crime Information and Prevention Center. Recurrent in-service training frequently targets Department - City relations and solutions to mumal problems. In a further effort to provide a more personal association with the community, we have recently embarked on a program to realign [he individual patrol car geographic areas and will increase the emphasis to assign calls to the "beat" car whenever possible. We believe this will enable the individual deputies to become more aware of [he citizens' priorities and the crime problems in their area. We are always looking for new or innovative ways to promote a harmonious reponse to the community's needs. We believe that we have the equivalent of an effective "team policing" program, but we are always receptive to suggestions and ideas to improve our service. co - r c�E� c�:.��:� : T1�.:5 is Cc.P�a,�.
