LASD Enhances Operations in Altadena Eaton Fire Burn Area to Support Recovery and Ensure Community Safety
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) is intensifying its efforts to provide comprehensive support to the Altadena Eaton Fire burn area, reflecting a strategic shift in its operations to address the community's evolving needs. This transition marks a move from strictly enforced containment measures, characterized by hard closures, to a mission focused on community support. The Department is prioritizing the safety and recovery of residents as they begin to return to their homes and neighborhoods, many of which have been significantly impacted by the fire.
Since the start of the Eaton fire, LASD has deployed resources and roving patrols to protect the community and properties of our Altadena residents. Patrol deputies along with the Looter Suppression Team will maintain a visible presence in the area to deter criminal activity, including looters, while our community starts to recover during this challenging time.
AERO Bureau will also support these efforts by conducting aerial patrols, providing enhanced surveillance and rapid response capabilities to ensure comprehensive coverage of the affected areas. Together, these efforts ensure continuous 24-hour patrolling to provide a consistent and visible law enforcement presence, particularly in neighborhoods still dealing with utility outages and heightened security risks.
The curfew order issued by Los Angeles County remains in effect; however, its scope has been adjusted to align with the current status of evacuation zones. The curfew is now limited to areas under active evacuation orders, while those under evacuation warnings are no longer subject to these restrictions. LASD urges residents to remain informed about the status of closures and updates by visiting protect.genasys.com.
As residents return to their properties, LASD is committed to assisting them during this challenging period. The Department's efforts aim to facilitate a smooth transition back to normalcy by ensuring safety, preventing criminal activity, and reassuring the community.
The LASD extends its gratitude to the residents of Altadena for their patience, resilience, and cooperation during these difficult times. The Department remains steadfast in its commitment to ensuring the safety, security, and well-being of all communities across Los Angeles County as recovery efforts continue.
