Los Angeles: On Thursday, August 8, 2002, dozens of Los Angeles Police Department officers from Devonshire Area, Valley Traffic Division, and Valley Bureau Headquarters will focus on violent crime and community quality of life issues in an effort to reduce crime in Devonshire Area.
The focus area will be the area bordered by Nordhoff Street on the north, Roscoe Boulevard on the south, Lindley Avenue on the east and Topanga Canyon Boulevard on the west with particular emphasis on the Parthenia corridor.
Operations will commence at 9:00 a.m. and will continue past midnight. There will be zero tolerance for traffic violations and criminal acts in the affected area.
