LAPD Reduces Front-Desk Hours At Valley, South LA Stations, Shifts Officers To Street
The Los Angeles Police Department is doing away with around-the-clock front-desk hours, aiming to put more officers into the field to respond to calls. Starting Friday, Dec. 1, a pair of stations in the San Fernando Valley — Devonshire and West Valley — and the Southeast and Southwest stations in South Los Angeles shift from a 24-hour front-desk schedule to a 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. schedule, LAPD officials announced. Tom Saggau, a spokesman for the police union, said there is “no debate” that Los Angeles “needs more police officers on the street” and that the “limited station closures are intended to put more officers on patrol in these neighborhoods.”
