Topanga Station

For the past 30 minutes I have been calling the non-​emergency phone number. No one has picked up and it has taken my to a voicemail box. That’s very unprofessional and unacceptable that there is no one to answer a call.

Despite the challenges of staffing shortfalls and the number of service requests, these folks really work hard to keep our community safe and a nice place to live. The job they do is never ending and quite a thankless task. One officer in particular has shown superb dedication: SLO Jose Maldonado. His service to the community is a model that should be studied and followed by all police officers! He’s not the only good copper but surely one of the very best.

While crossing Nevada Ave two dogs burst out of the front door of the house on the corner and attacked me. I tried to contact LAPD but no one would talk to me about it. Several days later some clown from the Los Angeles police Department left a «Get Out of Jail Free» card on my door. (see photo) VERY unprofessional card. I called the number repeatedly and always got voice mail.
I left a detailed description of what had happened and asked when I could sign the Assault Charges complaint against the owners.
Checking with Animal control, it turns out these dogs are known to the City of Los Angeles.
Walked into both animal shelters in the Valley and talked with the people working there. According to the people working in these shelters, there is an unofficial ban on investigating incidents where the animal may be put to sleep so that Los Angeles can claim they are a «Kill Free» city.
This was seven months ago and still no reply.

Very professional staff. Administrative assistants manage all of your inquiries in a timely manner and provide contacts of the department staff for any questions. Pleasure dealing with such a professional organization.
