Law Enforcement in Los Angeles County
Municipal, Sheriff, L.A.P.D.
If someone is in danger, cannot go to a safe place and needs immediate help, CALL 911.

When a crime is committed, the jurisdiction usually belongs to the location where the crime occurred. In Los Angeles County, several types of law enforcement agencies might be involved:

	Cities with their own police department Examples: Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena... You should contact the local police department for help and to file the police report. The Los Angeles Almanac Web site features the list, address and telephone number of Municipal Police Departments in Los Angeles County.
	Cities or unincorporated County areas where police services are contracted with the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department. Examples: West Hollywood, Altadena... You should contact the local Sheriff Station for help and to file the police report. Go to the LASD Station Map and click on the local station for more information. The Sheriff Department has a specialized unit focusing on elder abuse: Barbara White, Elder/Dependent Abuse Coordinator Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Fraud Detail, Elder/Dependent Adult Unit 11515 S. Colima Road, #104 Whittier, 90604 Tel: 562-946-7217
	The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) serving the City of Los Angeles. The City is divided into 18 Areas. The Area where the crime took place will usually take the report and investigate.

The Los Angeles City Attorney Elders at Risk Task Force works closely with the Los Angeles Police Department.
