Since September 2017, the level of crime in the Los Feliz area has sky rocketed. In the past two months, there have been numerous home burglaries sometimes committed by the same group. LAPD has been provided with an incredible amount of evidence, including, video footage, fingerprints, photos, etc. of the assailants and getaway car. The city leaders discount these crimes as being merely “property crimes” and provide little or no resources to the investigations. Accordingly, LAPD hands are somewhat tied. Our Senior Lead Officer has been on disability leave for several months now. We need to speak up and ask that someone new be appointed to our area who can take care of things. The emotional and psychological damage and fear caused by burglaries and other property crimes can be more devastating than losing just material possessions. It is no longer acceptable or tolerable to have our Los Feliz homes and neighborhoods under attack by these criminals! It is time for all of us to speak up and speak out!! Yesterday, we started making telephone calls to Ryu’s office and then Mayor Garcetti’s office to voice our concerns and demand the protections that all of us as citizens deserve and work so hard for. No one has returned our phone calls yet. That is why we need everyone to please join us in calling the city/political officials and voicing our concerns and demand action. David Ryu’s Office: (323) 957-6415 or (213) 473-7004 Mayor Garcetti’s Office: (213) 978-0600
