To provide information and assurance to the immigrant community that they are protected from immigration enforcement action when they are the victim or witness to a crime, regardless of their immigration status.

The LAPD strives to be a partner with all of the communities within the City of Los Angeles, to provide quality service, delivered with respect and compassion based on need, not immigration status.
