“The Beverly Hills Police Department attributes these decreases to targeted enforcement efforts, increased patrol visibility, stronger prosecution by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office, and our continued collaboration with residents, businesses, and our law enforcement partners,” said Chief Mark G. Stainbrook.
The Department encourages the community to remain vigilant and continue reporting suspicious activity.
