The LAPD is looking for businesses, community groups, individuals and others to participate in a variety of non-enforcement activities including; detective and clerical operations, crime prevention, traffic and school safety programs, residential and holiday security checks and patrol operations. Dozens of community members from across the city will sign up at the Tuesday event. The brand-new volunteers will be available to tell their unique stories and explain why they now believe their participation in the LAPD will change the LAPD and the communities in which they live.
