LANCASTER – Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department personnel will be going door-to-door in West Lancaster neighborhoods this Saturday, March 14, to conduct a community survey aimed at identifying quality-of-life issues and criminal activity concerns, authorities said.
The “Public Trust Partnership” event is being organized to help bridge the relationship between law enforcement and local residents, according to Lancaster Community Relations deputy Miguel Ruiz.
“The results of the survey will be utilized to allocate and redirect personnel resources to address the problems identified,” Ruiz stated.
The community survey will be conducted by about 100 deputies and volunteers. The group will focus on the neighborhoods between 40th Street West and 52nd Street West, bordered by Avenue L to the north, and Avenue M to the south, according to Ruiz. A command post will be set up at 4105 West Avenue L, he said.
Lancaster Sheriff’s Station is the fourth patrol station to implement LASD’s Public Trust Partnership.
At the conclusion of the survey, Captain Pat Nelson will schedule a town hall meeting to share the tabulated data.
“LASD will develop and implement strategies to address the identified issues, such as, but not limited to burglary and narcotics suppression, gang mitigation, graffiti/vandalism abatement, juvenile delinquency reduction, neighborhood safety after dark, Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) operations, stray animal control, illegal vendor enforcement, loud party, and enhanced traffic enforcement,” Ruiz stated.
For more information on the Public Trust Partnership event, contact Deputy Miguel Ruiz at 661-940-3832 or email mtruiz@lasd.org.

EAST SIDE WAS THE LOWER CLASS SIDE.IN REALITY I DONT THINK ONES BETTER THEN THE OTHER….ITS ALL IN EVERYONES MIND THAT IF YOU PAY MORE FOR A HOUSE THAT YOU CAN GET ON THE EAST SIDE FOR $50,000.00 LESS SOMEHOW THAT MAKES THE WEST SIDE BETTER!! I THINK THE REAL MESSAGE SENT HERE WAS ONE IVE KNOWN FOR A LONG TIME AND THAT ARTICLE JUST CONFIRMED IT……THIS IS WHERE ALL THE PROBLEMS START….WHEN I READ THAT ARTICLE FOR THE FIRST TIME I WAS VERY OFFENDED!!!!! PERHAPS SOME ONE CAN EXPLAIN WHY THAT AREA IS IMPORTANT AND THE REST AREN’T? ?????WHAT MAKES THOSE AREAS BETTER??? OR ARE THEY??? IT SEEMD TO ME A SURVEY CONSISTING OF HOW SAFE YOU FEEL SHOULD BE ASKED IN AREAS OF HIGH CRIME OR WHERE THERES PROBLEMS SO PERHAPS THEY COULD FIND RESOLUTIONS TO BETTER THE NOT SO GOOD AREAS!!! HOWEVER THE WAY THEY CHOSE TO DO IT APPEARS TO COME ACROSS AS THOUGH THEY ARE WHAT THEY’VE BEEN ACCUSED OF……BEING RACIST! !! THEY PICK AND CHOOSE WHOM THEY WILL HELP AND FIND EXCUSES FOR THOSE THEY DONT WANT TO HELP.I KNOW FIRST HAND…..TKME FOR RETRAINING….

Why don’t they open up the City Council Chambers for a meeting…maybe 2 meetings. 1 during the week after 6:00 and another on a Saturday, around noon, to accommodate those people who work out of town, or sleep late, or need to have breakfast with their families (excuses, I realize). Advertise on the local channel, in all the media outlets, and through the Public Safety Office for everyone in Neighborhood Watch. Everyone from every corner of town can be reached. If they don’t show up, they can’t complain…or can they?

This is bias they should conduct it to the whole city of lancaster. I hope this is a just the first phase of the survey. It’s like doing it in Beverly hills and leaving south central alone.
Sioux Yew says
There’s probably no money left after all the lawsuits the city had to pay on account of the mayor’s big fat mouth/
Eastsider says
When all the council lives on the west side and all their focus in on the BLVD the east side gets left behind. Has Parris even been to the eastside?
Dedo Gonzalez says
Eastside people dont vote or donate much. Its make sense REX PARRIS and the city council focus of providing the best service and security to those that will support the efforts of the mayor and city council and interest that go with that. They get a lot of their tax revenues from high end businesses, properties and industrial sites. Not much in the east.
Gimmees don’t build cities afterall. They just take and take and complain. Its the same everywhere.
Its called Capitalism not Democracy. Gasoline or Fire is a privilage not a right. Doesn’t matter if your rich or poor.
Frank Rizzo says
The East Side is secure, cops all over the place. What are these donations you speak of? What is this capitalism you refer to? Are you selling something [removed] Gonzalez?
guest says
they need to focus on East LANCASTER!
SuckitAV says
This is how the schemers stick their noses in your front door under the guise of security. Lock and load.
DesertMom says
Could they come out a little further west down to 57th West as the cut off and cover from Avenue L up to Avenue M 40th to 57th West? There seem to be more and more pieces of crap hanging out from 52nd to 57th between Avenues L & M. And Lane Park has become Hoodlum Hangout.
