Crime Reporting

The program provides law enforcement services for Los Angeles County. Services include bullying prevention, crime reporting and welfare fraud reporting. There are no geographic restrictions.

The program operates a hotline for anonymous crime reporting. It accepts information about major crimes, including arson, graffiti, residential burglary, murder, sexual assault, kidnapping and crimes committed against corporations, tribal injustice, e.g., fraud, theft, robbery, vandalism, burglary, staged accidents, medical fraud, welfare fraud and drug crimes. Information is immediately forwarded to law enforcement and major corporations by FAX, telephone and e-mail. The program guarantees caller anonymity; callers are identified only by a case number and code name which can be used again to give additional information about the crime or to find out if a reward will be offered. Rewards up to $1,000 may be given upon the arrest and conviction of an offender reported by the caller; confidential reward drops can be arranged.

The school safety program provides a bullying prevention hotline for students of all ages.

The program accepts requests for graffiti removal on commercial, public or residential property in unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County and for cities that contract with the L A County Department of Public Works. It provides specialized information and referral for graffiti removal for other areas of Los Angeles County by referring callers to the appropriate municipal program.
