New LASD Websites: Community Policing, Gang Enforcement, and Volunteer Coordinators - COPS, OSS, CLEPP
The website of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (www.lasd.org) shares information pertaining to the entire jurisdiction of the LASD and content is prepared by Sheriff’s Headquarters Bureau.
Meanwhile, new community-based and topic-focused websites continue to be launched by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department to provide more focus to community interests. The three newest websites are services available countywide: Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Bureau (www.COPS.lasd.org); Operation Safe Streets (OSS) Bureau (www.OSS.lasd.org) and Community Law Enforcement Partnership Program (CLEPP) (www.CLEPP.lasd.org).
Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Bureau provides a holistic approach to problem oriented policing by developing, maintaining, and coordinating a multitude of operational assets to proactively reduce violent crime and enhance the quality of life for residents throughout the unincorporated regions of Los Angeles County. COPS Bureau is the headquarters unit which oversees the station COPS Deputies, the High Impact Teams (HIT), the Crime Impact Teams (CIT), the Community Development Commission Unit (CDC), the Vital Intervention & Directional Alternatives Program (VIDA), the Parking Enforcement Detail (PED), and the Parole Compliance Team: www.COPS.lasd.org
Operation Safe Streets (OSS) Bureau provides suppression, intelligence and expert investigations against criminal street gangs. OSS is comprised of the uniformed patrol deputies of the Gang Enforcement Team (GET) and gang investigators of the Operation Safe Streets (OSS) Detail: www.OSS.lasd.org
Community Law Enforcement Partnership Program (CLEPP) organizes community groups and programs to fight gangs, drugs and violence, in addition to providing support to stations through 3,500 LASD civilian volunteers. CLEPP assists in providing Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training, Neighborhood Emergency Training, Crime Prevention and Neighborhood Watch Training, as well as planning and executing special events, such as sheriff’s town hall meetings: www.CLEPP.lasd.org
These new topic-focused and community-based websites mirror the look and feel of www.lasd.org but they are geographically specific and topic specific to the communities they serve. Over 40 languages are available via Google’s link to an automated foreign language translator.
“The public has requested more geographically-specific and topic-specific information about their Sheriff’s Department,” said Sheriff Lee Baca. “These Sheriff’s station webpages and the many more that will follow enable unit commanders to provide information of greatest interest to local communities. They provide the public what, we believe, the public has long wanted, in the way they want it provided. It is useful and interesting information, presented in an engaging and highly visual way.”
