Los Angeles 's 4,060 square miles, home to 10,441,100 people, is also a stage for 400 different known gangs. Keeping law and order under such circumstances, and trying to do so amidst dwindling budgets and increasing demands at the city and county levels, is a complicated balancing act.
On Wednesday, December 8 from 7:00-8:30 p.m. at The Crawford Family Forum, 89.3 KPCC's Patt Morrison will host a live taping of her regular “Ask the Chief”: except this time, LA County Sheriff Lee Baca will join the conversation about what's goin' on in Los Angeles… and you'll get the chance to ask your own questions, either at the event or by or sending them to us.
December 8th will be a packed night: Come early to meet the four-legged members of the LAPD's K-9 unit – Find out about special programs like Lock It, Hide It, Keep It; iWATCH, Team Sheriff Racing, and the Sheriff's special Soapbox Derby – Hear "The Bricks," the L.A. multicultural group of youth that delivers its message to at-risk youth through rock, hip-hop, and soul music.
